Leviticus 21:10-23

¹⁰And the priest that is chief amongst his brethren, the oil having been poured upon the head of the anointed one, and he having been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not take the mitre off his head, and shall not rend his garments:

¹¹neither shall he go in to any dead body, neither shall he defile himself for his father or his mother.

¹²And he shall not go forth out of the sanctuary, and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, because the holy anointing oil of God is upon him: I am the Lord.

¹³He shall take for a wife a virgin of his own tribe.

¹⁴But a widow, or one that is put away, or profaned, or a harlot, these he shall not take; but he shall take for a wife a virgin of his own people.

¹⁵And he shall not profane his seed amongst his people: I am the Lord that sanctifies him.

¹⁶And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁷Say to Aaron, A man of your tribe throughout your generations, who shall have a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer the gifts of his God.

¹⁸No man who has a blemish on him shall draw near; a man blind, lame, with his nose disfigured, or his ears cut,

¹⁹a man who has a broken hand or a broken foot,

²⁰or humpbacked, or blear-eyed, or that has lost his eye-lashes, or a man who has a malignant ulcer, or tetter, or one that has lost a testicle.

²¹Whoever of the seed of Aaron the priest has a blemish on him, shall not draw near to offer sacrifices to your God, because he has a blemish on him; he shall not draw near to offer the gifts of God.

²²The gifts of God are most holy, and he shall eat of the holy things.

²³Only he shall not approach the veil, and he shall not draw near to the altar, because he has a blemish; and he shall not profane the sanctuary of his God, for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.
