93 - DASHING THE BLOOD OF BLEMISHED BEASTS UPON THE ALTAR
Leviticus 22:24 -- “You shall not offer to the LORD what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut; nor shall you make any offering of them in your land.”
Leviticus 22:22 -- “Those that are blind or broken or maimed, or have an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.”
The unblemished condition in sacrifices was required only in the case of cattle, but not in the case of bird-offerings; however a fowl too was disqualified if it lacked a limb.*
