whatever renders a person or thing imperfect or uncomely. The Jewish law required the priests to be free from blemishes of person, Lev_21:17-23; Lev_22:20-24. Scandalous professors are blemishes to the church of God, 2Pe_2:13; Jud_1:12, and therefore ought to be put away from it, in the exercise of a godly discipline.

blem?ish:
(1) מוּם, mūm, מאוּם, me'ūm; μῶμος, mō̇moš: This word signifies no particular skin disease, as has been supposed; but is used generally for any and all disfiguring affections of the skin, such as eczema, herpes, scabies, etc., even for scratches and scars, as in Lev_24:19, Lev_24:20; and thence for moral defects, as in Eph_5:27. The existence of a blemish in a person of priestly descent prevented him from the execution of the priestly office; similarly an animal fit for sacrifice was to be without blemish. In the New Testament Christ is presented as the antitype of a pure and ritually acceptable sacrifice ?as a lamb without blemish and without spot? (Heb_9:14; 1Pe_1:19), and the disciples are admonished to be blameless, ?without blemish? (Eph_5:27). Rarely the word is used to designate a reprobate person (2Pe_2:13).
(2) Blemish in the eye, תּבלּל, tebhallul (from a root בּלל, bālal, ?to overflow?; Arabic balla, balal, ?to moisten?), cataract, white spots in the eye (Lev_21:20).

Lev_21:18 (c) The word is used to remind us that the believer must have a sacrifice that is absolutely perfect in every respect. The only sacrifice that GOD will accept as being perfect is the Lord JESUS. Nothing else and no one else can be truly perfect.
2Pe_2:13 (b) This reference is to those people who are unsaved and therefore untaught in the Word of GOD who come among GOD's people bringing damage, hurt and injury to GOD's program.

Blemish
(מוּם, μῶμος; once תְּבִלֻּל, blear-eyed, Lev_21:20). There were various kinds of blemishes, i.e. imperfections or deformities, which excluded men from the priesthood, and animals from being offered in sacrifice. These blemishes are described in Lev_21:17-23; Lev_22:19-25; Deu_15:21. We learn from the Mishna (Zebachim, 12:1; Becoroth. 7:1) that temporary blemishes excluded a man from the priesthood only as long as those blemishes continued. The rule concerning animals was extended to imperfections of the inward parts: thus, if an animal, free from outward blemish, was found, after being slain, internally defective, it was not offered in sacrifice. The natural feeling that only that which was in a perfect condition was fit for sacred purposes, or was a becoming offering to the gods, produced similar rules concerning blemishes among the heathen nations (comp. Pompon. Let. De Sacerdot. cap. 6; Herodot. ii, 38; Iliad, i; 66; Ser. vius, ad Virg. AEn. ii, 4).
