And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

17 S peak unto Aaron, saying, The man of thy seed in their generations that has any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

22 H e shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy and of the sanctified things.

He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy:

23 O nly he shall not go inside the veil nor come near unto the altar because he has a blemish, that he not profane my sanctuary; for I AM he that sanctifies them.

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 am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.

24 A nd Moses told it unto Aaron and to his sons and unto all the sons of Israel.

So Moses spake unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
