Physical Requirements for Priestly Service

Leviticus 21:16-24
16
ADONAI said to Moshe,
17
"Tell Aharon, 'None of your descendants who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.
18
No one with a defect may approach - no one blind, lame, with a mutilated face or a limb too long,
19
a broken foot or a broken arm,
20
a hunched back, stunted growth, a cataract in his eye, festering or running sores, or damaged testicles -
21
no one descended from Aharon the cohen who has such a defect may approach to present the offerings for ADONAI made by fire; he has a defect and is not to approach to offer the bread of his God.
22
He may eat the bread of his God, both the especially holy and the holy;
23
only he is not to go in to the curtain or approach the altar, because he has a defect - so that he will not profane my holy places, because I am ADONAI, who makes them holy.'"
24
Moshe said these things to Aharon, his sons and all the people of Isra'el.
