16 

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 17 "Speak to Aaron, saying: 'No man of your descendants in succeeding 

generations, who has any defect, may approach to offer the bread of his God. 18 For any man who has a defect 

shall not approach: a man blind or lame, who has a marred face or any limb too long, 19 a man who has a broken 

foot or broken hand, 20 or is a hunchback or a dwarf, or a man who has a defect in his eye, or eczema or scab, or 

is a eunuch. 21 No man of the descendants of Aaron the priest, who has a defect, shall come near to offer the 

offerings made by fire to the LORD. He has a defect; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.

Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
