Deuteronomy 17:1-3

New Century Version

17 If an ox or sheep has something wrong with it, do not offer it as a sacrifice to the Lord your God. He would hate that.

² A man or woman in one of the towns the Lord gave you might be found doing something evil and breaking the Agreement. ³ That person may have served other gods and bowed down to them or to the sun or moon or stars of the sky, which I have commanded should not be done.
