18 “Give Aaron and his sons and all the Israelites these instructions, which apply both to native Israelites and to the foreigners living among you.“If you present a gift as a burnt offering to the lord, whether it is to fulfill a vow or is a voluntary offering,
19 you will be accepted only if your offering is a male animal with no defects. It may be a bull, a ram, or a male goat.
20 Do not present an animal with defects, because the lord will not accept it on your behalf.
21 “If you present a peace offering to the lord from the herd or the flock, whether it is to fulfill a vow or is a voluntary offering, you must offer a perfect animal. It may have no defect of any kind.
22 You must not offer an animal that is blind, crippled, or injured, or that has a wart, a skin sore, or scabs. Such animals must never be offered on the altar as special gifts to the lord.
23 If a bull or lamb has a leg that is too long or too short, it may be offered as a voluntary offering, but it may not be offered to fulfill a vow.
24 If an animal has damaged testicles or is castrated, you may not offer it to the lord. You must never do this in your own land,
