Leviticus 22:18–25

18 “Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them: Any man of the house of Israel or of the foreign residents s in Israel who presents his offering t—whether they present freewill gifts or payment of vows to the Lord as * burnt offerings— 19 must offer an unblemished male u from the cattle, sheep, or goats in order for you to be accepted. 20 You are not to present anything that has a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.

21 “When a man presents a * fellowship sacrifice to the Lord to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or flock, it has to be unblemished to be acceptable; there must be no defect in it. 22 You are not to present any animal to the Lord that is blind, injured, maimed, or has a running sore, festering rash, v or scabs; you may not put any of them on the altar as a fire offering to the Lord. w 23 You may sacrifice as a freewill offering any animal from the herd or flock that has an elongated or stunted limb, but it is not acceptable as a vow offering. 24 You are not to present to the Lord anything that has bruised, crushed, torn, or severed testicles; x you must not sacrifice them in your land. 25 Neither you nor y a foreigner are to present food to your God from any of these animals. They will not be accepted for you because they are deformed and have a defect.” z
