23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 23. But he is not yet prepared to realize his own inmost good, by the removal of all appearances; nor can he truly worship the Lord until his defect is removed, and if that good were manifested he would profane it. But the Lord from His Divine Good will remove the impediment, because He can sanctify man to the uttermost.
