Leviticus 22:18-29

¹⁸Speak thou to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, A man of the house of Israel, and of the comelings that dwell with them, that offereth his offering to the Lord, and either payeth avows or vows, either offereth by his free will, whatever thing he offereth into burnt sacrifice of the Lord,

¹⁹that it be offered by you, it shall be a male without wem, of oxen, and of sheep, and of goats;

²⁰if it hath a wem, ye shall not offer it, neither it shall be acceptable.

²¹A man that offereth a sacrifice of peaceable things to the Lord, and either payeth avows or vows, either offereth by free will, as well of oxen as of sheep, he shall offer a beast without wem, that it be acceptable; no wem shall be therein.

²²If it is blind, if it is broken, if it hath a wound or a scar, if it hath whelks, either scab, either dry scab, ye shall not offer those beasts to the Lord, neither ye shall burn of those beasts upon the altar of the Lord.

²³A man may offer willfully a sheep and an ox superfluous and diminished, that is, having a member superfluous, either failing a member; but a vow may not be paid of these beasts.

²⁴Ye shall not offer to the Lord any beast, whose privy members be broken, either bruised, either cut, and taken away, and utterly ye shall not do these things in your land.

²⁵Of the hand of an alien ye shall not offer loaves to your God, and whatever other thing he will give, for all things be corrupt and defouled; ye shall not receive those or them.

²⁶And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,

²⁷When an ox, sheep, and goat be brought forth of the mother’s womb, in seven days those or they shall be under the teat of their mother; soothly in the eighth day, and from thenceforth, those or they may be offered to the Lord,

²⁸whether that is a cow, whether a sheep; those or they shall not be offered in one day with their fruits.

²⁹If ye offer to the Lord a sacrifice for the doing of thankings, that it may be pleasant or be pleasable,
