13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 A widow or a divorced woman or a defiled woman—a prostitute—these he shall not marry; for rather he shall take a virgin of his own people as wife. 15 He shall not profane his posterity among his people. For I am YHWH, sanctifying him.” 16 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “Speak to Aaron, saying, ‘No man of your seed to their generations who has a blemish in him shall draw near to bring near the bread of his God. 18 For any man who has a blemish in him shall not approach—a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed, 19 or a man who has in him a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand, 20 or a hunchback, or dwarfed, or a man who has a blemish in his eye, or itch, or scab, or a crushed testicle. 21 Any man of the seed of Aaron the priest who has a blemish in him shall not come near to offer the fire offerings to YHWH; he has a blemish in him. He shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. 22 He may eat the bread of his God from the holies of holies, and from the holies. 23 Only he shall not go near the veil. And he shall not approach the altar, because he has a blemish in him. And he shall not profane My sanctuaries, for I am YHWH, sanctifying them.’” 24 And Moses told it to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel. Leviticus 21:13-24, Berean Literal Bible.
