Lev 22:23 | NETfull | STEP | As for an ox or a sheep with a limb too long or stunted, you may present it as a freewill offering, but it will not be acceptable for a votive offering.

Leviticus 22:23

23 As for an ox ^{▼▼ Heb “And an ox.”} or a sheep with a limb too long or stunted, ^{▼▼ Heb “and stunted” (see HALOT 1102 s.v. I קלט).} you may present it as a freewill offering, but it will not be acceptable for a votive offering. ^{▼▼ The freewill offering was voluntary, so the regulations regarding it were more relaxed. Once a vow was made, the paying of it was not voluntary (see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 151–52, for very helpful remarks on this verse).}
