Leviticus 21:16-24

16Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 17Speak to Aaron, saying, ‘No man of your seed throughout their generations who has a defect shall come near to offer the afood of his God. 18aFor no one who has a defect shall come near: a blind man or a lame man or he who has a 1,bdisfigured face or any deformed limb, 19or a man who has a broken foot or broken hand, 20or a hunchback or a dwarf, or one who has a 1defect in his eye or eczema or scabs or acrushed testicles. 21No man among the seed of Aaron the priest who has a defect shall approach to bring near the offerings to Yahweh by fire; since he has a defect, he shall not approach to bring near athe food of his God. 22He may eat athe food of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy, 23only he shall not go in to the veil or approach the altar because he has a defect, so that he will not profane My sanctuaries. For I am Yahweh who makes them holy.’” 24So Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel.
