Leviticus 21:12-20

¹²He shall not go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him. I am the LORD.

¹³“‘He shall take a wife in her virginity.

¹⁴He shall not marry a widow, or one divorced, or a woman who has been defiled, or a prostitute. He shall take a virgin of his own people as a wife.

¹⁵He shall not profane his offspring amongst his people, for I am the LORD who sanctifies him.’”

¹⁶The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁷“Say to Aaron, ‘None of your offspring throughout their generations who has a defect may approach to offer the bread of his God.

¹⁸For whatever man he is that has a defect, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,

¹⁹or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,

²⁰or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles.
