¹⁶ και ελαβες εκ των ιματιων σου και εποιησας σεαυτη ειδωλα ραπτα και εξεπορνευσας επ' αυτα και ου μη εισελθης ουδε μη γενηται

⁴⁰ και δωσω εφ' υμας ονειδισμον αιωνιον και ατιμιαν αιωνιον ητις ουκ επιλησθησεται

¹⁶ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁷ "Say to Aaron, 'None of your seed throughout their generations who has a blemish, may approach to offer the bread of his God.

¹⁸ For whatever man he is that has a blemish, he shall not draw near: a blind man, or a lame, or he who has a flat nose, or any deformity,

¹⁹ or a man who has an injured foot, or an injured hand,

²⁰ or hunchbacked, or a dwarf, or one who has a defect in his eye, or an itching disease, or scabs, or who has damaged testicles;

²¹ no man of the seed of Aaron the priest who has a blemish, shall come near to offer the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. Since he has a blemish, he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.

²² He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.

²³ He shall not come near to the veil, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he may not profane my sanctuaries, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.'"

²⁴ So Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
