19 if it is to be accepted for you it shall be a (A)male without blemish, of the bulls or the sheep or the goats. 20 (B)You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable for you. 21 And when anyone (C)offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord (D)to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock, to be accepted it must be perfect; there shall be no blemish in it. 22 Animals (E)blind or disabled or mutilated or having a discharge or (F)an itch or scabs you shall not offer to the Lord or give them to the Lord as a food (G)offering on the altar. 23 You may present a bull or a lamb that has a part (H)too long or too short for a freewill offering, but for a vow offering it cannot be accepted. 24 Any animal that has its testicles bruised or crushed or torn or cut you shall not offer to the Lord; you shall not do it within your land, 25 neither shall you offer as (I)the bread of your God any such animals gotten from a foreigner. Since there is a (J)blemish in them, because of their mutilation, they will not be accepted for you.”
