When any of you offer one of your cattle as a fellowship offering, it is to be a bull or a cow without any defects.

If you offer a sheep,

and present the following parts of the animal as a food offering to the LORD: the fat, the entire fat tail cut off near the backbone, all the fat covering the internal organs,

The officiating priest shall burn all this on the altar as a food offering to the LORD.

you shall put your hand on its head and kill it in front of the Tent. The priests shall throw its blood against all four sides of the altar

the kidneys and the fat on them, and the best part of the liver.

No Israelite may eat any fat or any blood; this is a rule to be kept forever by all Israelites wherever they live.

for the Israelites to observe when they offer their sacrifices. When you offer an animal sacrifice, it may be one of your cattle or one of your sheep or goats.

Then you shall skin the animal and cut it up,

If you are offering one of your sheep or goats, it must be a male without any defects.

Then tell the people of Israel to take a male goat for a sin offering, a one-year-old calf, and a one-year-old lamb without any defects for a burnt offering,

After that, he presented the people's offerings. He took the goat that was to be offered for the people's sins, killed it, and offered it, as he had done with his own sin offering.

Moses asked about the goat for the sin offering and learned that it had already been burned. This made him angry at Eleazar and Ithamar, and he demanded,

To be accepted, it must be a male without any defects.

When anyone presents a fellowship offering to the LORD, whether as fulfillment of a vow or as a freewill offering, the animal must be without any defects if it is to be accepted.

As a freewill offering you may offer an animal that is stunted or not perfectly formed, but it is not acceptable in fulfillment of a vow.

Do not offer as a food offering any animal obtained from a foreigner. Such animals are considered defective and are not acceptable.

(SEE 22:26)

It was the will of the LORD that his servant grow like a plant taking root in dry ground. He had no dignity or beauty to make us take notice of him. There was nothing attractive about him, nothing that would draw us to him.

All of us were like sheep that were lost, each of us going his own way. But the LORD made the punishment fall on him, the punishment all of us deserved.

and the people of all the nations will be gathered before him. Then he will divide them into two groups, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

He will put the righteous people at his right and the others at his left.

What the Law could not do, because human nature was weak, God did. He condemned sin in human nature by sending his own Son, who came with a nature like our sinful nature, to do away with sin.

Christ was without sin, but for our sake God made him share our sin in order that in union with him we might share the righteousness of God.
