19 “You should sanctify every firstborn male of your herd and your flock to Jehovah your God.+ You must not do any work with the firstborn of your herd* nor shear the firstborn of your flock.

21 But if it has a defect—lameness, blindness, or any other serious defect—you must not sacrifice it to Jehovah your God.+

17 “You must not sacrifice to Jehovah your God a bull or a sheep that has a defect or anything wrong with it, for it would be detestable to Jehovah your God.+

8 And when you present a blind animal as a sacrifice, you say: “It is nothing bad.” And when you present a lame animal or a sick one: “It is nothing bad.”’”+

“Try presenting them, please, to your governor. Will he be pleased with you or receive you with favor?” says Jehovah of armies.
