21No man from the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the food offerings of Yahweh. A defect is in him; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.

22He may eat the food of his God, from the most holy things and from the holy things.

23However, he shall not go in to the veil or come near the altar, because there is a defect in him, so that he may not profane my sanctuaries; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.
