Leviticus 21:19 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 21:19

Or a man that is brokenfooted or brokenhanded.
] That has any of the bones or joints in his hands and feet broke, or when they are distorted, and he is clubfooted, or his fingers crooked and clustered together; and such a man could not be fit to ascend the altar, and lay the sacrifice in order upon it; and may be an emblem of such as are awkward or disorderly in their walk and conservation, and to every good work and action unfit, and so unfit for their master's use.

Leviticus 21:19 In-Context

17 "Tell Aaron: If any of your descendants (now or in future generations) has a physical defect, he must never bring food to offer to God.
18 Indeed, no one who has a physical defect may ever come near [the altar]. That means anyone who is blind or lame, who has a disfigured face, a deformity,
19 or a crippled hand or foot,
20 who is a hunchback or dwarf, who has defective sight, skin diseases, or crushed testicles.
21 If a descendant of the priest Aaron has a physical defect, he must never bring sacrifices by fire to the LORD. He has a defect. He must never bring food to offer to God.
