Context of Leviticus 22:18

16They must make those people pay the penalty for their guilt because they have eaten the priests’ holy offerings. I am the Lord, who sets them apart as holy.” 17The Lord spoke to Moses, “Tell Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites: Israelites or foreigners may bring burnt offerings to the Lord for anything they vowed or as freewill offerings. 19The offering must be a male that has no defects from your cattle, sheep, or goats in order to be accepted. 20Never bring any animal with a physical defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf.
