18 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘(A)Any man of the house of Israel or of the aliens in Israel who presents his offering, whether it is any of their (a)votive or any of their freewill offerings, which they present to the Lord for a burnt offering— 19 (B)for you to be accepted—it must be a male without defect from the cattle, the sheep, or the goats. 20 (C)Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it will not be accepted for you. 21 When a man offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord (D)to (b)fulfill a special vow or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it must be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it.
