John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Leviticus 21:18

A flat nose — Most restrain this word to the nose, and to some great deformity relating to it. But according to others, it signifies more generally, a person that wants some member or members, because the next word, to which it is opposed, signifies one that hath more members than he should.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

For whatsoever man [he be] that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath (m) a flat nose, or any (n) thing superfluous,

(m) Which is deformed or bruised.

(n) As not of equal proportion, or having in number more or less.
