Leviticus 22:22-24
New English Translation

22 “‘You must not present to the Lord something blind, or with a broken bone, or mutilated, or with a running sore,[a] or with a festering eruption, or with a feverish rash.[b] You must not give any of these as a gift[c] on the altar to the Lord. 23 As for an ox[d] or a sheep with a limb too long or stunted,[e] you may present it as a freewill offering, but it will not be acceptable for a votive offering.[f] 24 You must not present to the Lord something with testicles that are bruised, crushed, torn, or cut off;[g] you must not do this in your land.
