Leviticus 22:20-28

²⁰nothing in which is blemish do ye bring near, for it is not for a pleasing thing for you.

²¹'And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a vow, or for a willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it;

²²blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed — ye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah.

²³'As to an ox or a sheep enlarged or dwarfed — a willing-offering ye do make it, but for a vow it is not pleasing.

²⁴As to a bruised, or beaten, or enlarged, or cut thing — ye do not bring it near to Jehovah; even in your land ye do not do it.

²⁵And from the hand of a son of a stranger ye do not bring near the bread of your God, of any of these, for their corruption is in them; blemish is in them; they are not pleasing for you.'

²⁶And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²⁷'When ox or lamb or goat is born, and it hath been seven days under its dam, then from the eighth day and henceforth, it is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah;

²⁸but an ox or sheep — it and its young one, ye do not slaughter in one day.
