^20 (A)You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable for you.

17 ^(A)“You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox or a sheep in which is a blemish, any defect whatever, for that is an abomination to the Lord your God.

^8 (A)When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that not evil? Present that to your governor; will he accept you or show you favor? says the Lord of hosts.

^21 (A)But if it has any blemish, if it is lame or blind or has any serious blemish whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God.

¹⁹ but ^(A)with the precious blood of Christ, like that of ^(B)a lamb ^(C)without blemish or spot.

¹⁴ how much more will ^(A)the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit ^(B)offered himself without blemish to God, ^(C)purify our^[a] conscience ^(D)from dead works ^(E)to serve the living God.

²⁵ neither shall you offer as ^(A)the bread of your God any such animals gotten from a foreigner. Since there is a ^(B)blemish in them, because of their mutilation, they will not be accepted for you.”

¹³ But you say, ^(A)‘What a weariness this is,’ and you snort at it, says the Lord of hosts. ^(B)You bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the Lord. ¹⁴ Cursed be the cheat who has ^(C)a male in his flock, and ^(D)vows it, and yet sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished. For ^(E)I am a great King, says the Lord of hosts, and my name ^(F)will be feared among the nations.
