Leviticus 22:21-23
Contemporary English Version
Leviticus 22:21-23
Contemporary English Version
21 When you offer a sacrifice to ask my blessing,[a] there must be nothing wrong with the animal. This is true, whether the sacrifice is part of a promise or something you do voluntarily. 22 Don't offer an animal that is blind or injured or that has an infection or a skin disease. 23 If one of your cattle or lambs has a leg that is longer or shorter than the others, you may offer it voluntarily, but not as part of a promise.

Leviticus 22:21-23
New International Version
21 When anyone brings from the herd or flock(A) a fellowship offering(B) to the Lord to fulfill a special vow or as a freewill offering,(C) it must be without defect or blemish(D) to be acceptable.(E) 22 Do not offer to the Lord the blind, the injured or the maimed, or anything with warts or festering or running sores. Do not place any of these on the altar as a food offering presented to the Lord. 23 You may, however, present as a freewill offering an ox[a] or a sheep that is deformed or stunted, but it will not be accepted in fulfillment of a vow.
