Lev 22:18 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel and say to them, 'Any man of the house of Israel or of the aliens in Israel who presents his offering, whether it is any of their votive or any of their freewill offerings, which they present to the LORD for a burnt offering--
Lev 22:19 for you to be accepted--it must be a male without defect from the cattle, the sheep, or the goats.
Lev 22:20 'Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it will not be accepted for you.
Lev 22:21 'When a man offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to fulfill a special vow or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it must be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it.
Lev 22:22 'Those that are blind or fractured or maimed or having a running sore or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer to the LORD, nor make of them an offering by fire on the altar to the LORD.
Lev 22:23 'In respect to an ox or a lamb which has an overgrown or stunted member, you may present it for a freewill offering, but for a vow it will not be accepted.
Lev 22:24 'Also anything with its testicles bruised or crushed or torn or cut, you shall not offer to the LORD, or sacrifice in your land,
Lev 22:25 nor shall you accept any such from the hand of a foreigner for offering as the food of your God; for their corruption is in them, they have a defect, they shall not be accepted for you.'"
Lev 22:26 ¶ Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev 22:27 "When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be accepted as a sacrifice of an offering by fire to the LORD.
Lev 22:28 "But, whether it is an ox or a sheep, you shall not kill both it and its young in one day.
Lev 22:29 "When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
Lev 22:30 "It shall be eaten on the same day, you shall leave none of it until morning; I am the LORD.
Lev 22:31 "So you shall keep My commandments, and do them; I am the LORD.
Lev 22:32 ¶ "You shall not profane My holy name, but I will be sanctified among the sons of Israel; I am the LORD who sanctifies you,
Lev 22:33 who brought you out from the land of Egypt, to be your God; I am the LORD."
Lev 23:1 The LORD spoke again to Moses, saying,
Lev 23:2 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'The LORD'S appointed times which you shall proclaim as holy convocations--My appointed times are these:
Lev 23:3 ¶ 'For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings.
Lev 23:4 ¶ 'These are the appointed times of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them.
