Contextual Overview

¹⁶ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ¹⁷ Say to Aaron: Whosoever of thy seed throughout their families, hath a blemish, he shall not offer bread to his God. ¹⁸ Neither shall he approach to minister to him: If he be blind; if he be lame; if he have a little, or a great, or a crooked nose; ¹⁹ If his foot, or if his hand be broken; ²⁰ If he be crookbacked; or blear eyed; or have a pearl in his eye, or a continual scab, or a dry scurf in his body, or a rupture. ²¹ Whosoever of the seed of Aaron the priest hath a blemish: he shall not approach to offer sacrifices to the Lord, nor bread to his God. ²² He shall eat nevertheless of the loaves that are offered in the sanctuary. ²³ Yet so that he enter not within the veil, nor approach to the altar: because he hath a blemish, and he must not defile my sanctuary. I am the Lord who sanctify them. ²⁴ Moses, therefore spoke to Aaron, and to his sons and to all Israel, all the things that had been commanded him.

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.

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.
