Thematic Bible: Required to be perfect and without blemish


Thematic Bible



But if it has any defect, such as lameness or blindness, or any serious defect, you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God.

But when you present the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you present the lame and sick, is it not evil? Why not offer it to your governor? Would he be pleased with you? Or would he receive you kindly?” says the Lord of hosts.

for you to be accepted—it must be a male without defect from the cattle, the sheep, or the goats.

“But cursed be the swindler who has a male in his flock and vows it, but sacrifices a blemished animal to the Lord, for I am a great King,” says the Lord of hosts, “and My name is feared among the nations.”

You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox or a sheep which has a blemish or any defect, for that is a detestable thing to the Lord your God.
