13Women whom you priests marry must be virgins.
14You priests must not marry widows or prostitutes or divorced women, because if you did that, if you later have sons, they would not be acceptable to be priests among your people. You must marry only virgins from among your own people. I am Yahweh, who sets priests apart to be holy.’”
16Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
17“Say this to Aaron: For all future time, none of your descendants who has any defects on his body will be allowed to come near the altar to offer sacrifices to me which will be like MET my food:
18No one who is blind or lame or deformed, or whose face is disfigured,
19no man with a crippled foot or a crippled hand,
20no man who is a hunchback or a dwarf, no man whose eyes are defective, no man who has a skin disease DOU or whose testicles have been damaged is allowed to brings sacrifices.
21No descendant of Aaron, the first Supreme Priest, who has any defect is allowed to come to the altar to offer to me, his God, sacrifices that will be burned.
22Priests who have defects are permitted to eat the various kinds of holy food offered to me.
