Leviticus 21:16-23:
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
Notes on Leviticus 21:16-23:
Don’t worry if you have one of these conditions; you’d be allowed to be in God’s presence even if you had all these conditions in the New Covenant, and you’d have the right to be healed of all those conditions too!
If God wanted no sickness to enter His sanctuary then, why would He want sickness in His sanctuary today when YOU are His sanctuary? He won’t complain that you’re profaning His sanctuary; He’s provided healing for all conditions so that neither you nor He will have to put up with them being in His sanctuary.
