In the book of Leviticus, God instructs the Israelites on the offerings they are to make. And he repeats eighteen times* that the offering shall be "without blemish", that it should have "no blemish" (Lev 22:21).
In Leviticus 22:20, God says: "You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable for you."
