This site's exposition

No descendant of Aaron the priest who has a defect

on Leviticus 21:21-24

The priest with a defect keeps his portion and loses his function. The phrase "food of his God" bars him in verse 21 and feeds him in verse 22.

This site's exposition

Moses told this to Aaron and his sons

Moses repeats to all the Israelites a law spoken for the priests. Matthew Henry saw the high priest's restrictions as a sign to the people of the dignity of his office. A sign works only on those who know the rule.
