Leviticus 22:19

Verse 19 of 33. The 22nd of 27 chapters in Leviticus, in The Law.

15The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the LORD,

16and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things; for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.’”

17The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

18“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering:

19that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

20But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

21Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.

22You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.

23Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
