Leviticus 22:25

Compare all

23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any limb ^atoo long or too short you may offer as a freewill offering, but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

24 ‘You shall not offer to the Lord what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut; nor shall you make any offering of them in your land.

25 Nor ^afrom a foreigner’s hand shall you offer any of these as ^bthe bread of your God, because their ^ccorruption is in them, and defects are in them. They shall not be accepted on your behalf.’ ”

26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

27 ^a“When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thereafter it shall be accepted as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

A stranger' s hand - The word here rendered "stranger" , is not the same as that in Leviticus 22:10, Leviticus 22:18 : it means literally, "the son of the unknown" , and probably refers to one dwelling in another land who desired to show respect to the God of Israel. See I Kings 8:41.
