No man with a crippled foot or hand. The crippled foot and hand extend the physical completeness requirement to the extremities. The foot that walks into the sanctuary and the hand that presents the offerings are both specifically addressed: the priest who serves at the altar must have fully functional feet and hands. The foot that carries the priest to the altar and the hand that performs the priestly acts are the body parts most directly involved in the priestly service.
