Bekhorot 43: three things to remember

  1. Priests with full blemishes profane the service, bodily anomalies violate a positive command, while mere unsightly traits carry only rabbinic bans.
  2. Superfluous verses link human and animal blemishes, while distinct verses are required because priests, sacrifices, and firstborns possess unique sanctities.
  3. A gibben is a priest lacking eyebrows or having a severely crooked spine, and a flat-nosed priest is disqualified from service.
