Leviticus 22:17-33

17Then the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 18“SpeakH1696 toH413 AaronH175H413 and his sonsH1121H413 and allH3605 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and tellH559 themH413, ‘Any manH376 ofH4480 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 or any foreign residentH1616 whoH834 presentsH7126 a giftH7133H3605 for a burnt offeringH5930 to the LORDH3068, whether to fulfill a vowH5088 or as aH3605 freewill offeringH5071, 19must offer an unblemishedH8549 maleH2145 from the cattleH1241, sheepH3775, or goatsH5795 in order for it to be accepted on your behalfH7522. 20You must notH3808 presentH7126 anythingH3605 withH834 a defectH3971, becauseH3588 it will notH3808 beH1961 acceptedH7522 on your behalf.

21WhenH3588 a manH376 presentsH7126 a peace offeringH2077H8002 to the LORDH3068 from the herdH1241 orH176 flockH6629 to fulfillH6381 a vowH5088 orH176 as a freewill offeringH5071, it must beH1961 without blemishH8549 or defectH3971 to be acceptableH7522. 22You are notH3808 to presentH7126 to the LORDH3068 any animal that is blindH5788, injuredH7667, orH176 maimedH2742H176, orH176 anything with a running soreH2990H176, a festering rashH1618H176, or a scabH3217; you must notH3808 putH5414 any of these onH5921 the altarH4196 as a food offeringH801 to the LORDH3068.

23You may presentH6213 as a freewill offeringH5071 an oxH77941 or sheepH7716 that has a deformedH8311 or stunted limbH7038, but it is notH3808 acceptableH7521 in fulfillment of a vowH5088. 24You are notH3808 to presentH7126 to the LORDH3068 an animal whose testicles are bruisedH4600, crushedH3807, tornH5423, or cutH3772; you are not toH3808 sacrifice themH6213 in your landH776. 25Neither you norH3808 a foreignerH1121H5236 shall presentH7126 foodH3899 to your GodH430 from anyH3605 suchH428 animal. They will notH3808 be acceptedH7521 on your behalf, becauseH3588 they are deformedH4893 and flawedH3971.’”

26Then the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 27“WhenH3588 an oxH7794,2 a sheepH3775H176, orH176 a goatH5795 is bornH3205, it must remainH1961 withH8478 its motherH517 for sevenH7651 daysH3117. From the eighthH8066 dayH3117 onH1973, it will be acceptable asH7521 a food offeringH801 presentedH7133 to the LORDH3068. 28But you must notH3808 slaughterH7819 an oxH77943 orH176 a sheepH7716 on the sameH259 dayH3117 as its youngH1121.

29WhenH3588 you sacrificeH2076 a thankH8426 offeringH2077 to the LORDH3068, offer itH2076 so that it may be acceptable on your behalfH7522. 30It must be eatenH398 that sameH1931 dayH3117. Do notH3808 leaveH3498 any of itH4480 untilH5704 morningH1242. IH589 am the LORDH3068.

31You are to keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687 and practiceH6213 themH853. IH589 am the LORDH3068. 32You must notH3808 profaneH2490 My holyH6944 nameH8034. I must be acknowledged as holyH6942 amongH8432 the IsraelitesH1121H3478. IH589 am the LORDH3068 who sanctifies youH6942, 33who brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to beH1961 your GodH430. IH589 am the LORDH3068.”
