Contextual Overview

¹⁶ The Lord commanded Moses ¹⁷ to tell Aaron, "None of your descendants who has any physical defects may present the food offering to me. This applies for all time to come. ¹⁸ No man with any physical defects may make the offering: no one who is blind, lame, disfigured, or deformed; ¹⁹ no one with a crippled hand or foot; ²⁰ no one who is a hunchback or a dwarf; no one with any eye or skin disease; and no eunuch. ²¹ No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any physical defects may present the food offering to me. ²² Such a man may eat the food offered to me, both the holy food offering and the very holy food offering, ²³ but because he has a physical defect, he shall not come near the sacred curtain or approach the altar. He must not profane these holy things, because I am the Lord and I make them holy." ²⁴ This, then, is what Moses said to Aaron, the sons of Aaron, and to all the people of Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Or a man that is brokenfooted or brokenhanded. That has any of the bones or joints in his hands and feet broke, or when they are distorted, and he is clubfooted, or his fingers crooked and clustered together; and such a man could not be fit to ascend the altar, and lay the sacrifice in order upon it; and may be an emblem of such as are awkward or disorderly in their walk and conservation, and to every good work and action unfit, and so unfit for their master's use.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Leviticus 21:20

A dwarf - One who is small and wasted, either short, as in the text, or slender, as in the margin. It is hardly likely that dwarfishness would be overlooked in this enumeration. So most critical authorities.

Scurry or scabbed - These words most probably include all affected with any skin disease.

Leviticus 21:22

See Leviticus 2:3 note; Leviticus 6:25 note.

Leviticus 21:23

Sanctuaries - The places especially holy, including the most holy place, the holy place, and the altar.

This law is of course to be regarded as one development of the great principle that all which is devoted to the service of God should be as perfect as possible of its kind.
