Deuteronomy 15:21 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 15:21

And if there be any blemish therein
In the firstling, as if it be "lame or blind", or have

any ill blemish: thou shall not sacrifice it unto the Lord thy God;
blemishes in any beast made it unfit for sacrifices which were required; and so all peace offerings, vows, and freewill offerings, were to be free from any, ( Leviticus 22:19-24 ) ( Malachi 1:14 ) , such were not fit for an holy sacrifice or an holy feast.

Deuteronomy 15:21 In-Context

19 Save all the first male animals born to your herds and flocks. They are for the Lord your God. Do not work the first calf born to your oxen, and do not cut off the wool from the first lamb born to your sheep.
20 Each year you and your family are to eat these animals in the presence of the Lord your God, in the place he will choose to be worshiped.
21 If an animal is crippled or blind or has something else wrong, do not sacrifice it to the Lord your God.
22 But you may eat that animal in your own town. Both clean and unclean people may eat it, as they would eat a gazelle or a deer.
23 But don't eat its blood; pour it out on the ground like water.
