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.
