15. ‘And let the priests not profane the set-apart offerings of the children of Yisra’ĕl, which they lift up to יהוה,
16. or allow them to bear the crookedness of trespass when they eat their set-apart offerings. For I am יהוה, who sets them apart.’ ”
17. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
18. “Speak to Aharon and his sons, and to all the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘Any man of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or of the strangers in Yisra’ĕl, who brings his offering for any of his vows or for any of his voluntary offerings, which they bring to יהוה as a burnt offering,
19. for your acceptance, is a male, a perfect one from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats.
20. ‘Whatever has a defect, you do not bring, for it is not acceptable for you.
21. ‘And when a man brings a peace offering to יהוה, to complete a vow, or a voluntary offering from the cattle or the sheep, it is to be perfect to be accepted, let there be no defect in it.
22. ‘Those blind or broken or having a cut, or have an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you do not bring to יהוה, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to יהוה.
23. ‘As for a bull or a lamb that has any limb deformed or dwarfed you do prepare as a voluntary offering, but for a vow it is not accepted.
24. ‘Do not bring to יהוה what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut, nor do it in your land.
25. ‘And from a son of a stranger’s hand you do not bring any of these as the bread of your Elohim, for their corruption is in them, and defects are in them, they are not acceptable for you.’ ”
26. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
27. “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 is acceptable as an offering made by fire to יהוה.
