Imamat 21:22-23

21:22 He may eat both the most holy and the holy food of his God, 21:23 but he must not go into the veil-canopy ¹  or step forward to the altar because he has a physical flaw. Thus ²  he must not profane my holy places, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’”

[21:23]  ¹ sn See the note on Lev 16:2 for the rendering “veil-canopy.”

[21:23]  ² tn Heb “And.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
