14. If a man eats the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall add a fifth of the value to it and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
15. They shall not defile the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,
16. and cause them to suffer and to bear the iniquity of guilt when they eat their holy things, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
17. The 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 from the house of Israel or from the foreigners in Israel who offers his burnt offering for any vows or freewill offerings that he offers to the Lord,
19. then if it is to be accepted for you, the offering shall be a male without blemish, a bull, sheep, or goat.
20. But whatever has a blemish you shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21. Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord to fulfill his vow or a freewill offering, whether from the herd or flock, to be accepted it shall be perfect, with no blemish on it.
22. Blind, or disabled, or maimed, or having an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer these to the Lord, nor make a food offering by fire on the altar to the Lord.
23. A herd animal or a flock animal that has a limb that is too long or short you may offer for a freewill offering, but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24. You shall not offer to the Lord an animal that is bruised or crushed or torn or cut; nor shall you make any offering of them in your land.
25. Nor from a foreigner shall you offer an animal as the food of your God, because a blemish is in them from their mutilation. They shall not be accepted for you.
26. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27. When an ox, or a sheep, or a goat is born, then it shall be seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day and thereafter it shall be accepted for a food offering made by fire to the Lord.
