## In Jewish tradition

It means damaged in the body, which kept a priest from serving at the altar, or a man from the assembly.

**Interpretation.** Tradition says these rules are about the dignity of holy service, not a judgment of a person's worth.

### Examples

- He that is crushed or maimed in his privy parts shall not enter into the assembly of the LORD. (Torah DEU.23.1, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/M/maimed/#x1)
- breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath maimed a man, so shall it be rendered unto him. (Torah LEV.24.20, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/M/maimed/#x2)
