But if there is anything wrong with the animals, if they are crippled or blind or have any other serious defect, you must not sacrifice them to the LORD your God.

You may choose either a sheep or a goat, but it must be a one-year-old male without any defects.

If you offer any animal that has any defects, the LORD will not accept it.

Do not offer to the LORD any animal that is blind or crippled or mutilated, or that has a running sore or a skin eruption or scabs. Do not offer any such animals on the altar as a food offering.

Do not offer to the LORD any animal whose testicles have been crushed, cut, bruised, or torn off. This is not permitted in your land.

When you bring a blind or sick or lame animal to sacrifice to me, do you think there's nothing wrong with that? Try giving an animal like that to the governor! Would he be pleased with you or grant you any favors?"

You say, 'How tired we are of all this!' and you turn up your nose at me. As your offering to me you bring a stolen animal or one that is lame or sick. Do you think I will accept that from you?

A curse on the cheater who sacrifices a worthless animal to me, when he has in his flock a good animal that he promised to give me! For I am a great king, and people of all nations fear me."

Since this is true, how much more is accomplished by the blood of Christ! Through the eternal Spirit he offered himself as a perfect sacrifice to God. His blood will purify our consciences from useless rituals, so that we may serve the living God.

it was the costly sacrifice of Christ, who was like a lamb without defect or flaw.

Then seven other cows came up; they were thin and bony. They came and stood by the other cows on the riverbank,

and the thin cows ate up the fat cows. Then the king woke up.

Then seven other cows came up which were thin and bony. They were the poorest cows I have ever seen anywhere in Egypt.

Also, no money earned in this way may be brought into the house of the LORD your God in fulfillment of a vow. The LORD hates temple prostitutes.

In either case, her first husband is not to marry her again; he is to consider her defiled. If he married her again, it would be offensive to the LORD. You are not to commit such a terrible sin in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

The LORD hates people who cheat.

There are seven things that the LORD hates and cannot tolerate: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that kill innocent people, a mind that thinks up wicked plans, feet that hurry off to do evil, a witness who tells one lie after another, and someone who stirs up trouble among friends.

The LORD hates people who use dishonest scales. He is happy with honest weights.

The LORD is pleased when good people pray, but hates the sacrifices that the wicked bring him.

The LORD hates people who use dishonest weights and measures.
