Levítico 22:19 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:19

Ye shall offer at your own will
For vows and freewill offerings were at their own option, and depended on their own will and pleasure, and when offered should be with a willing mind, and from their whole heart: or "for good will to you"; as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan; or for gracious, acceptation, that is, that they might be well pleasing to God, and acceptable in his sight, so Jarchi; in order to which the following direction was strictly to be observed: a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, and of the goats;
bullocks, sheep, and goats, were the only sorts of beasts, out of which sacrifices were taken, and those that were for burnt offerings were always to be males, and unblemished, see ( Leviticus 1:3 Leviticus 1:10 ) ; but for other offerings, as peace offerings and sin offerings, females might be used, see ( Leviticus 3:1 ) ( 4:32 ) . Fowls are not mentioned, though burnt offerings were of them, because it was not required in them, only of beasts, that they should be males, and without blemish; for, as Jarchi observes, these were not rejected on account of a blemish, only for want of a member.

Levítico 22:19 In-Context

17 Ofrendas dignas e indignas
El Señor
le dijo a Moisés:

18 «Da a Aarón, a sus hijos y a todos los israelitas estas instrucciones; son aplicables tanto para los israelitas de nacimiento como para los extranjeros que viven entre ustedes: si presentas una ofrenda quemada al Señor
, ya sea para cumplir un voto o como una ofrenda voluntaria,

19 serás
aceptado sólo si la ofrenda es un animal macho sin defecto. Podrá ser un toro, un carnero o un chivo.

20 No presentes un animal con defectos, porque el Señor
no lo aceptará a tu favor.

21 »Si presentas al Señor
una ofrenda de paz de la manada o del rebaño, ya sea para cumplir un voto o como ofrenda voluntaria, deberás ofrecer un animal perfecto. No se permite que tenga ninguna clase de defecto.
