Leviticus 21:21-23

Context
21:21 No man from the descendants of Aaron the priest who has a physical flaw may step forward 1  to present the Lord’s gifts; he has a physical flaw, so he must not step forward to present the food of his God. 21:22 He may eat both the most holy and the holy food of his God, 21:23 but he must not go into the veil-canopy 2  or step forward to the altar because he has a physical flaw. Thus 3  he must not profane my holy places, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’”

1 tn Or “shall approach” (see HALOT 670 s.v. נגשׁ).

2 sn See the note on Lev 16:2 for the rendering “veil-canopy.”

3 tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
