Why does God forbid Aaron's descendants with "defects" from offering food?
Upvote:2
From context, we get this command was given to Aaron and his descendants, those ordained for Priesthood. It mentions there these are considered "defects"; an imperfection. It's a symbol of sanctification; God setting apart, and also what is acceptable to God (perfection, purity, holiness). Similar to why sacrificial lambs are to be without blemish. Also why Jesus had to be without sin to be an acceptable atonement for our sins.
