Disqualifications for the Priesthood

Disqualifications for the Priesthood

Lev 21:16-24  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  (17)  Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.  (18)  For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,  (19)  Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,  (20)  Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;  (21)  No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.  (22)  He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.  (23)  Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.  (24)  And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.

Lessons for the Christian as we are called to be Priests of God in the next age.

And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.  (Rev 1:6)

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.  (Rev 5:10)

Blind

Spiritual eyesight blind. Doesn’t have their eyes on the prize, the finish line.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.  (2Pe 1:9)

And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.  (Mat 5:29)

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.  (Mat 6:22)

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!  (Mat 6:23)

For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.  (Mat 13:15)

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.  (Mat 13:16)

Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?  (Mat 20:15)

Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?  (Mar 8:18)

And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:  (Luk 10:23)

For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.  (Luk 10:24)

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.  (Luk 11:33)

The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.  (Luk 11:34)

Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.  (Luk 11:35)

If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.  (Luk 11:36)

To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.  (Act 26:18)

Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:  (Act 28:26)

For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.  (Act 28:27)

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded  (Rom 11:7)

(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.  (Rom 11:8)

And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:  (Rom 11:9)

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.  (Rom 11:10)

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  (Eph 1:18)

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.  (1Jn 2:9)

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.  (1Jn 2:10)

But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.  (1Jn 2:11)

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  (1Jn 2:16)

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:  (Rev 3:17)

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.  (Rev 3:18)

Lame

The Christian Walk (sin in our walk, or shortcomings)

If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;  (Job 31:7)

And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.  (Heb 12:13)

 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.  (1Co 9:24)

And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.  (1Co 9:25)

I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:  (1Co 9:26)

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.  (1Co 9:27)

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,  (Heb 12:1)

Flat nose

Nose used for smelling (for good or bad) We smell differences. Incapable of perceiving in others goodness. Not capable of discerning good or evil. Discerning Times/Seasons, Truth/Falsehoods. Not able to judge correctly.

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.  (Ecc 8:5)

And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.  (Exo 29:18)

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:  (2Co 2:15)

To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?  (2Co 2:16)

For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.  (2Co 2:17)

Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.  (Ecc 10:1)

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?  (1Ki 3:9)

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.  (Ecc 8:5)

And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.  (Eze 44:23)

And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?  (Mat 16:3)

Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?  (Luk 12:56)

Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?  (Luk 12:57)

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.  (1Co 2:13)

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  (1Co 2:14)

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.  (1Co 11:28)

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.  (1Co 11:29)

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.  (1Co 11:30)

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.  (1Co 11:31)

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.  (1Co 11:32)

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.  (Heb 5:11)

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.  (Heb 5:12)

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.  (Heb 5:13)

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses [sense of smell]  exercised to discern both good and evil.  (Heb 5:14)

For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.  (Rom 16:19)

 Anything Superfluous

Superfluous means extra. Extra fingers or toes (kind of like the Judaizing Christians who tried to add that you had to obey the Law besides Christ.) Could also be a deformity.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.  (Deu 4:2)

What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.  (Deu 12:32)

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.  (Pro 30:5)

Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.  (Pro 30:6)

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:  (Rev 22:18)

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.  (Rev 22:19)

Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.  (Mat 15:2)

But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?  (Mat 15:3)

But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.  (Act 15:5)

Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:  (Act 15:24)

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.  (Mat 6:7)

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.  (Eph 5:6)

Brokenfooted

Also affects the walk as does the lame. Not a defect, but an injury that has occurred. A fracture or break is out of alignment.  Off the path.

 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.  (1Ki 18:21)

Crookbackt

Dwarf

Spiritually immature, has not grown

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.  (1Co 3:1)

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.  (Heb 5:11)

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:  (1Pe 2:2)

Blemish in his eye

Not blind but impaired or distracted, Can’t look inward.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?  (Mat 7:3)

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?  (Mat 7:4)

Stones Broken

Not able to pro-create that is they do not witness so that others may also come into Christ. To make or assist in making other Christians they don’t have the capability, which could also be lack of development to teach anyone anything.

 Another way to look at it is that they have no fruit (no productivity)

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.  (2Ti 4:2)

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.  (Mat 13:18)

Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:  (Mat 3:8)

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?  (Mat 7:16)

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.  (Mat 7:20)
