Leviticus 22:15-33

¹⁵And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord.

¹⁶So should they bring upon themselves the iniquity of trespass in their eating their holy things: for I am the Lord that sanctifies them.

¹⁷And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the congregation of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that abide among them in Israel, who shall offer his gifts according to all their confession and according to all their choice, whatsoever they may bring to the Lord for whole-burnt-offerings—

¹⁹your free-will-offerings shall be males without blemish of the herds, or of the sheep, or of the goats.

²⁰They shall not bring to the Lord anything that has a blemish in it, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

²¹And whatsoever man shall offer a peace-offering to the Lord, discharging a vow, or in the way of free-will-offering, or an offering in your feasts, of the herds or of the sheep, it shall be without blemish for acceptance: there shall be no blemish in it.

²²One that is blind, or broken, or has its tongue cut out, or is troubled with warts, or has a malignant ulcer, or tetters, they shall not offer these to the Lord; neither shall ye offer any of them for a burnt-offering on the altar of the Lord.

²³And a calf or a sheep with the ears cut off, or that has lost its tail, thou shalt slay them for thyself; but they shall not be accepted for thy vow.

²⁴That which has broken testicles, or is crushed or gelt or mutilated,—thou shalt not offer them to the Lord, neither shall ye sacrifice them upon your land.

²⁵Neither shall ye offer the gifts of your God of all these things by the hand of a stranger, because there is corruption in them, a blemish in them: these shall not be accepted for you.

²⁶And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁷As for a calf, or a sheep, or a goat, whenever it is born, then shall it be seven days under its mother; and on the eighth day and after they shall be accepted for sacrifices, a burnt-offering to the Lord.

²⁸And a bullock and a ewe, it and its young, thou shalt not kill in one day.

²⁹And if thou shouldest offer a sacrifice, a vow of rejoicing to the Lord, ye shall offer it so as to be accepted for you.

³⁰In that same day it shall be eaten; ye shall not leave of the flesh till the morrow: I am the Lord.

³¹And ye shall keep my commandments and do them.

³²And ye shall not profane the name of the Holy One, and I will be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I am the Lord that sanctifies you,

³³who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.
