Midrash su Levitico 21:6
קְדֹשִׁ֤ים יִהְיוּ֙ לֵאלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם וְלֹ֣א יְחַלְּל֔וּ שֵׁ֖ם אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם כִּי֩ אֶת־אִשֵּׁ֨י יְהוָ֜ה לֶ֧חֶם אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֛ם הֵ֥ם מַקְרִיבִ֖ם וְהָ֥יוּ קֹֽדֶשׁ׃
Saranno santi per il loro Dio e non profaneranno il nome del loro Dio; per le offerte del Signore fatte dal fuoco, il pane del loro Dio, offrono; perciò saranno santi.
Sifra
6) (Vayikra 21:6) "Holy shall they be to their G d": perforce (i.e., even if they are willing to be unclean) "and they shall not profane the name of their G d; for the fire-offering of the L–rd, the bread of their G d, they offer up — and they shall be holy": This is the cause (i.e., by divesting themselves of the mitzvah of the priesthood, they divest themselves of their holiness.) "they offer up": and not the Levites. "and they shall be holy": to include those with blemishes.
