15. The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,
16. and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things; for I am Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”
17. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18. “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering;
19. that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20. But whatever has a defect, that you shall not offer; for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21. Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
22. Blind, injured, maimed, having a wart, festering, or having a running sore: you shall not offer these to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.
23. Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24. You must not offer to Yahweh that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this in your land.
25. You must not offer the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner as any of these; because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
