¹⁷ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

^{18 Ref} Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that offereth his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah for a burnt-offering;

^{19 Ref} that ye may be accepted, `ye shall offer' a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats.

^{20 Ref} But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

^{21 Ref} And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

^{22 Ref} Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto Jehovah.

^{23 Ref} Either a bullock or a lamb that hath anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

^{24 Ref} That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer unto Jehovah; neither shall ye do `thus' in your land.

^{25 Ref} Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

²⁶ And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

^{27 Ref} When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

^{28 Ref} And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

^{29 Ref} And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.

^{30 Ref} On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am Jehovah.

^{31 Ref} Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am Jehovah.

^{32 Ref} And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah who halloweth you,

^{33 Ref} who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.
