Leviticus 22:23 extends the defect principle to animal offerings — both priests and sacrifices must be without blemish.

Leviticus 22:22 lists animal defects that disqualify them for offerings, closely paralleling the priestly defects in Leviticus 21:18.

In 1 Timothy 3:2, the qualification for overseer shifts from physical to moral — both list fitness for ministry but different criteria.

Titus 1:7 lists moral disqualifications for overseers, mirroring the structure of Leviticus 21:18's physical disqualifications for priests.

Daniel 1:4 also selects servants with no physical defect — a parallel requirement for serving in a royal court, though not priestly.
