(Leviticus 21:18-20) 18 In case there is any man in whom there is a defect, he may not come near: a man blind or lame or with his nose slit or with one member too long, 19 or a man in whom there proves to be a fracture of the foot or a fracture of the hand, 20 or hunchback or thin or diseased in his eyes or scabby or having ringworms or having his testicles broken.

That testicle breaking or crashing refers to a way of making someone a eunuch apart from surgically removing the testicles. It must have been very painful but the world then and up to recently was barbaric. And it still is in some parts.
1:9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of "a sweet savour unto the LORD".
Great thread idea Oompa. Not my avatar but my username's least favourite. . .
Leviticus 11 - . . And all that do not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination to you.
