  Blemish
     imperfection or bodily deformity excluding men from the
     priesthood, and rendering animals unfit to be offered in
     sacrifice (Lev. 21:17-23; 22:19-25). The Christian church, as
     justified in Christ, is "without blemish" (Eph. 5:27). Christ
     offered himself a sacrifice "without blemish," acceptable to God
     (1 Pet. 1:19).
