Leviticus 21:23 in Context — Leviticus 21
21 Ningún varón de la simiente de Aarón sacerdote, en el cual hubiere falta, se allegará para ofrecer las ofrendas encendidas de Jehová. Hay falta en él; no se allegará á ofrecer el pan de su Dios.
22 El pan de su Dios, de lo muy santo y las cosas santificadas, comerá.
23 Empero no entrará del velo adentro, ni se allegará al altar, por cuanto hay falta en él: y no profanará mi santuario, porque yo Jehová soy el que los santifico.
24 Y Moisés habló esto á Aarón, y á sus hijos, y á todos los hijos de Israel.
