Levitico 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.

Levitico 21:19 In-Context

17 "Parla ad Aaronne e digli: Nelle generazioni a venire nessun uomo della tua stirpe che abbia qualche deformità s’accosterà per offrire il pane del suo Dio;
18 perché nessun uomo che abbia qualche deformità potrà accostarsi: né il cieco, né lo zoppo, né colui che ha una deformità per difetto o per eccesso,
19 o una frattura al piede o alla mano,
20 né il gobbo, né il nano, né colui che ha una macchia nell’occhio, o ha la rogna o un erpete o i testicoli infranti.
21 Nessun uomo della stirpe del sacerdote Aaronne, che abbia qualche deformità, si accosterà per offrire i sacrifizi fatti mediante il fuoco all’Eterno. Ha un difetto: non s’accosti quindi per offrire il pane del suo Dio.
