Leviticus 22:19–25

¹⁹to be acceptable on your behalf it shall be a male without blemish, of the cattle or the sheep or the goats.^{* 20}You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable on your behalf.^*

²¹“When anyone offers a sacrifice of well-being to the Lord, in fulfillment of a vow or as a freewill offering, from the herd or from the flock, to be acceptable it must be perfect; there shall be no blemish in it.^{* 22}Anything blind or injured or maimed or having a discharge or an itch or scabs—these you shall not offer to the Lord or put any of them on the altar as offerings by fire^p to the Lord. ²³An ox or a lamb that is deformed or stunted you may present for a freewill offering, but it will not be accepted for a vow. ²⁴Any animal that has its testicles bruised or crushed or torn or cut, you shall not offer to the Lord; such you shall not do within your land, ²⁵nor shall you accept any such animals from a foreigner to offer as food to your God; since they are mutilated, with a blemish in them, they shall not be accepted on your behalf.”^*
