¹⁸ “Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: ^(A)‘Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, who ^[a]offers his sacrifice for any of his vows or for any of his freewill offerings, which they offer to the Lord as a burnt offering— ^19 (B)you shall offer of your own free will a male without blemish from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats. ^20 (C)Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable on your behalf. ²¹ And ^(D)whoever offers a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, ^(E)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.

¹² And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the Lord.

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without ^[a]spot to God, ^(A)cleanse your conscience from ^(B)dead works ^(C)to serve the living God?

¹⁹ but ^(A)with the precious blood of Christ, ^(B)as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
