Leviticus 22:20-25

201Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it will not be accepted for you. 21When someone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord 2to fulfill a special vow or for a 3voluntary offering, 4of the herd or 5of the flock, it must be without defect to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it. 22Those that are blind, fractured, maimed, or have a wart, a festering rash, or scabs, you shall not offer to the Lord, nor make of them an offering by fire on the altar to the Lord. 23Now as for an ox or a lamb which has an 6overgrown or stunted member, you may present it as a 7voluntary offering, but for a vow it will not be accepted. 24Also 8anything with its testicles squashed, crushed, torn off, or cut off, you shall not offer to the Lord, nor 9sacrifice in your land, 25nor shall you offer any of these animals taken from the hand of a 10foreigner 11as the 12food of your God; for their deformity is in them, they have an impairment. They will not be accepted for you.’”
