Leviticus 22:20-25

20 ^aWhatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it will not be accepted for you. 21 When someone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord ^bto fulfill a special vow or for a ^{▼▼Or freewill offering}voluntary offering, ^{▼▼Lit among}of the herd or ^{▼▼Lit among}of the flock, it must be without defect to be accepted; there shall be no defect in it. 22 Those that are blind, fractured, maimed, or have a wart, a festering rash, or scabs, you shall not offer to the Lord, nor make of them an offering by fire on the altar to the Lord. 23 Now as for an ox or a lamb which has an ^{▼▼Or a deformed}overgrown or stunted member, you may present it as a ^{▼▼Or freewill offering}voluntary offering, but for a vow it will not be accepted. 24 Also ^hanything with its testicles squashed, crushed, torn off, or cut off, you shall not offer to the Lord, nor ^{▼▼Lit do}sacrifice in your land, 25 nor shall you offer any of these animals taken from the hand of a ^{▼▼Lit son of a stranger}foreigner ^kas the ^{▼▼Lit bread}food of your God; for their deformity is in them, they have an impairment. They will not be accepted for you.’”
