11. nor shall he go near any dead person, defiling himself, even for his father or his mother.
12. He is not to go out of the Sanctuary or profane the Sanctuary of his God—for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am Adonai.
13. “He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14. A widow, or one divorced, or one who has been defiled as a prostitute, he is not to marry. He is to take a virgin from his own people as a wife,
15. so as not to corrupt his offspring among his people. For I am Adonai who sanctifies him.”
16. Adonai spoke to Moses saying:
17. “Say to Aaron: None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the food of his God.
18. Any man who has a defect is not to draw near: no one blind or lame or disfigured or deformed,
19. or a man who has a crippled foot or crippled hand
20. or a hunchback or dwarf, or who has an eye defect or a rash or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
21. None of the offspring of Aaron the kohen who has a defect shall come near to present the offerings of Adonai made by fire. Since he has a defect, he is not to come near to offer the food of his God.
22. He may eat the food of his God, both from the most holy and the holy.
23. But he is not to approach the curtain or come near the altar, because of the defect on him, so that he may not desecrate My sanctuaries, for I am Adonai who sanctifies them.”
24. So Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons, and to all Bnei-Yisrael.
