¹⁸ “Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘^(A)Any man of the house of Israel or of the sojourners in Israel who brings near his offering, whether it is any of their ^[a]votive or any of their freewill offerings, which they bring near to Yahweh for a burnt offering— ^19 (B)for you to be accepted—it must be a male without blemish from the cattle, the sheep, or the goats. ^20 (C)Whatever has a defect, you shall not bring it near, for it will not be accepted for you. ²¹ And when a man brings a sacrifice of peace offerings near to Yahweh ^(D)to ^[b]fulfill a special vow or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it must be without blemish to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it.

¹² Now on the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb one year old without blemish for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

¹⁴ how much more will ^(A)the blood of Christ, who through ^[a](B)the eternal Spirit ^(C)offered Himself without blemish to God, ^(D)cleanse ^[b]your conscience from ^(E)dead works to serve ^(F)the living God?

¹⁹ but with precious ^(A)blood, as of a ^(B)lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
