Leviticus 22:18-23
Lexham English Bible
18 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites,[a] and say to them, ‘Anyone from the house of Israel or[b] from the alien in Israel who presents his offering for any of their vows or[c] for any of their freewill offerings that they present to Yahweh as a burnt offering, 19 it must be without defect to be acceptable for you:[d] a male among the cattle, among the sheep, or[e] among the goats. 20 You shall not present any animal in which is a physical defect, because it shall not be acceptable[f] for you. 21 And if anyone brings a sacrifice of fellowship offerings for Yahweh to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from[g] the cattle or from[h] the flock,[i] it must be without defect to be acceptable;[j] there must not be any physical defect in it. 22 The blind or the injured or the maimed or the seeping or one with a skin disorder or one with a skin eruption—these you shall not present to Yahweh, nor shall you give from them an offering made by fire on the altar for Yahweh. 23 As for[k] an ox or sheep that is deformed or[l] that is stunted, you may present it as a freewill offering, but[m] for a vow it will not be accepted.
