There may be no blemish therein: whether it be blind, broken, wounded or have a wen, or be mangy or scabbed; see that ye offer no such unto the LORD, nor put an offering of any such upon the altar unto the LORD.

For they mar all in that they have deformities in them, and therefore cannot be accepted for you.'"
