LEVITICUS—NOTE ON Leviticus 21:21 for I am the LORD who sanctifies them (v. Leviticus 21:23). Although “them” might refer to the priests with physical defects (vv. Leviticus 21:17), more likely it refers to my sanctuaries (v. Leviticus 21:23). While “my sanctuaries” matches the plural “them,” the references to the priests with physical defects are all singular.
