&
for you to be accepted--{it must be} a male without defect from the cattle, the sheep, or the goats.

~`Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it will not be accepted for you.

Lev 22:22
&
~`Those {that are} blind or fractured or maimed or having a running sore or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer to the LORD, nor make of them an offering by fire on the altar to the LORD.
Lev 22:23

Lev 22:25
&
nor shall you accept any such from the hand of a foreigner for offering as the food of your God; for their corruption is in them, they have a defect, they shall not be accepted for you."'
