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 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.
