Leviticus 21:21-23
Lexham English Bible
21 Any man from Aaron the priest’s offspring in whom is a physical defect shall not come near to present offerings made by fire to[a] Yahweh; a physical defect is in him; he shall not come near to present his God’s food. 22 He may eat his God’s food, from the most holy things[b] and from the holy things. 23 But he must not enter the curtain, and he must not come near to the altar, because a physical defect is in him, and he must not profane my sanctuary, because I am Yahweh, who consecrates them.’”
