hunchbacked - having a curved or hunched back, a priestly disqualification in Levitical law
This adjective describes someone with a curved or hunched back, related to Aramaic terms for 'hump-backed' and possibly to words for 'brow' or 'forehead' (suggesting prominence or protrusion). Levitical law excluded priests with this physical condition from approaching the altar to offer sacrifices, though they could still eat the holy food and serve in other capacities. The law's concern was preserving the physical perfection required for those who served at God's altar, reflecting ancient Near Eastern standards for ritual service.

1. sense 1 — Leviticus 21:20 lists 'or hunchbacked or dwarfed' among physical conditions disqualifying priests from altar service. This appears in a catalog of defects that, while not affecting ritual cleanness, prevented altar ministry. All translations render this anatomically (hunchbacked, jorobado), maintaining the specific physical description needed for applying priestly qualification standards. 1×
