Leviticus 22:17-25
22:18 a Apparently individuals could present a whole burnt offering instead of a peace offering if they desired (see 1:3 b).22:21 c A peace offering could function in several ways: as a thanksgiving offering, an offering to fulfill a vow, or a voluntary offering (see 3:1-17 d).
22:23 e The requirements for the voluntary offering were more lenient, allowing the use of a deformed animal. Fulfilling a vow, however, still required an animal that was not maimed or diseased. In no case would God accept a sacrifice that could not be eaten by a person or that was not a whole animal.
