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.
17 “Say to Aaron: ‘For the generations to come none of your descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his 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,
18 No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed;
19 or a crippled hand or foot,
19 no man with a crippled foot or hand,
20 who is a hunchback or dwarf, who has defective sight, skin diseases, or crushed testicles.
20 or who is a hunchback or a dwarf, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged 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.
21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the food offerings to the LORD. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God.
22 He may eat the food of his God--what is holy and what is very holy.
22 He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food;
23 However, he must never come up to the canopy or to the altar, since he has a physical defect. He must never dishonor the holy places because I, the LORD, set them apart as holy."
23 yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.’ ”
