Context of Leviticus 22:26

24You must not present to the Lord something with testicles that are bruised, crushed, torn, or cut off; you must not do this in your land. 25Even from a foreigner you must not present the food of your God from such animals as these, for they are ruined and flawed; they will not be acceptable for your benefit.’” The Lord spoke to Moses: 27“When an ox, lamb, or goat is born, it must be under the care of its mother seven days, but from the eighth day onward it will be acceptable as an offering gift to the Lord. 28You must not slaughter an ox or a sheep and its young on the same day.

Ye shall offer at your own will--rather, to your being accepted. a male without blemish--This law (Le 1:3) is founded on a sense of natural propriety, which required the greatest care to be taken in the selection of animals for sacrifice.
