Vayikra 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.

Vayikra 21:19 In-Context

17 Speak unto Aharon, saying, Whosoever he be of thy zera in their dorot that hath any defect, let him not approach to offer the lechem of Elohav.
18 For whatsoever ish he be that hath a mum, he shall not approach; an ish ivver, or a piseā€™ach (lame), or he who is disfigured or malformed,
19 Or an ish that has a crippled regel or a crippled yad,
20 Or hunchback, or a dwarf, or that hath a defect in his eye, or festering, or running sores, or damaged of testicle;
21 No ish that hath a mum of the zera Aharon HaKohen shall come near to offer the offerings of Hashem made by eish; he hath a mum; he shall not come near to offer the lechem Elohav.
