Leviticus 22:20-24
New King James Version
20 (A)Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable on your behalf. 21 And (B)whoever offers a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, (C)to fulfill his vow, or a freewill offering from the cattle or the sheep, it must be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it. 22 (D)Those that are blind or broken or maimed, or have an [a]ulcer or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer to the Lord, nor make (E)an offering by fire of them on the altar to the Lord. 23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any limb (F)too long or too short you may offer as a freewill offering, but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 ‘You shall not offer to the Lord what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut; nor shall you make any offering of them in your land.

Leviticus 22:20-24
New International Version
20 Do not bring anything with a defect,(A) because it will not be accepted on your behalf.(B) 21 When anyone brings from the herd or flock(C) a fellowship offering(D) to the Lord to fulfill a special vow or as a freewill offering,(E) it must be without defect or blemish(F) to be acceptable.(G) 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. 24 You must not offer to the Lord an animal whose testicles are bruised, crushed, torn or cut.(H) You must not do this in your own land,
