Leviticus 22:18-32

¹⁸Speak with Aharon, and with his sons, and with all the children of Israel, and say to them: When any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, will offer the oblation of any of their vows or any of their free-will oblations which they may offer before the Lord for a burnt sacrifice;

¹⁹That it may be acceptable from you, (let it be) a male without blemish, of the bullocks, or of the lambs, or of the goats.

²⁰But whatever hath a blemish in it you shall not offer, for it will not be acceptable for you.

²¹And if a man present a consecrated victim before the Lord, as a vow set apart, or a free-will offering of the herd or of the flock, it must be perfect, to be acceptable; there shall be no blemish in it.

²²Blind, or broken, or mutilated, or having imposthumes, or ulcers, or blotches, these you shall not offer before the Lord, nor of them present an oblation upon the altar before the Lord.

²³But a bullock or a lamb that hath anything superfluous or deficient you may make a free-will offering, but for a vow it will not be acceptable.

²⁴And that which is crushed, or rent, or worn out, or emasculated, you shall not offer before the Lord, nor do it in your land.

²⁵Nor from (the hand of) a son of the Gentiles may you offer an oblation to your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them, a blemish is in them; they will not be acceptable for you.

²⁶And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying:

²⁷When a bullock, or lamb, or goat, is brought forth, it shall be seven days with its dam, and on the eighth day and thenceforward it will be acceptable to be offered as an oblation before the Lord.

²⁸Whether it be a cow or ewe, ye shall not immolate (both) her and her offspring on one day.

²⁹And when you present a thank-offering before the Lord, offer it so as to be acceptable for you.

³⁰It is to be eaten on that day, nothing shall remain of it till the morning. I am the Lord.

³¹And you shall observe My commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.

³²Nor shall you profane My holy Name, for I will be hallowed among the sons of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctify you,
