Leviticus 22:20
Whatsoever hath a blemish - The same perfection is required in the sacrifice that was required in the priest; see on Leviticus 22:2 (note), and the notes on Leviticus 21 (note).
18 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: a‘Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, who1 offers his sacrifice for any of his vows or for any of his freewill offerings, which they offer to the Lord as a burnt offering—
19 ayou shall offer of your own free will a male without blemish from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats.
20 aWhatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable on your behalf.
21 And awhoever offers a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, bto fulfill his vow, or a freewill offering from the cattle or the sheep, it must be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it.
22 aThose that are blind or broken or maimed, or have an1 ulcer or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer to the Lord, nor make ban offering by fire of them on the altar to the Lord.
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.
