Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 21:19

Or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

Verse 19. Broken-footed, or broken-handed] Club-footed, bandy-legged, c. or having the ankle, wrist, or fingers dislocated.

Or a man that is brokenfooted or brokenhanded. That has any of the bones or joints in his hands and feet broke, or when they are distorted, and he is clubfooted, or his fingers crooked and clustered together; and such a man could not be fit to ascend the altar, and lay the sacrifice in order upon it; and may be an emblem of such as are awkward or disorderly in their walk and conservation, and to every good work and action unfit, and so unfit for their master’s use.

Whoever had a fracture in his foot or hand.

(19) Brokenfooted, or brokenhanded.That is, one with a badly cured fractured foot or hand, since in ancient days such accidents were scarcely ever properly cured. Owing to the imperfect knowledge of surgery, and to a want of skill in setting fractures, the evil effects of such accidents had to be endured by a considerable number of the members of the community.
