Leviticus 21

11  Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;

12  Neither shall he 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 Jehovah.

13  And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

14  A widow, or one divorced, or a profane woman, a harlot, these shall he not take: but a virgin of his own people shall he take to wife.

15  And he shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth him.

16  And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

17  Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

18  For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or anything superfluous,

19  Or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

20  Or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
