Leviticus 21:16-17, 22-23
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 17
“Speak to Aaron, saying, None of your offspring throughout their generations
who has a blemish may approach to offer the bread of his God. 22 He may eat the
bread of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy things, 23 but he shall
not go through the veil or approach the altar, because he has a blemish
Nothing with a blemish could pass through
the veil into the direct presence of God. These priests were not kept back from
most duties, but of this privilege they were restricted. The shadow was
fulfilled in the substance of the unblemished High Priest of God, Jesus Christ,
who entered through the veil on our behalf so that the blemished may now have
direct access to God.
