leviticus 22:23 Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

leviticus 22:23 'In respect to an ox or a lamb which has an overgrown or stunted [member], you may present it for a freewill offering, but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

23. that mayest thou offer, &c.--The passage should be rendered thus: "if thou offer it either for a freewill offering, or for a vow, it shall not be accepted." This sacrifice being required to be "without blemish" [Le 22:19], symbolically implied that the people of God were to dedicate themselves wholly with sincere purposes of heart, and its being required to be "perfect to be accepted" [Le 22:21], led them typically to Him without whom no sacrifice could be offered acceptable to God.

leviticus 22:23 'In respect to an ox or a lamb which has an overgrown or stunted [member], you may present it for a freewill offering, but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
