21 But if it has any blemish, if it is lame or blind, or has any serious blemish whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.
22 You shall eat it within your towns; the unclean and the clean alike may eat it, as though it were a gazelle or a hart.
23 Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.
