You are not to present to the LORD any animal that is blind, injured, or maimed
This phrase emphasizes the requirement for offerings to be without defect, reflecting God's holiness and perfection. In the ancient Near Eastern context, offerings were a significant part of worship, symbolizing the worshiper's devotion and reverence. The requirement for unblemished animals underscores the importance of giving God the best, not leftovers or inferior offerings. This principle is echoed inMalachi 1:8, where God rebukes the Israelites for offering blemished sacrifices. The unblemished animal is a type of Christ, who is described as the "Lamb without blemish or defect" in1 Peter 1:19, signifying His sinlessness and perfect sacrifice.

or anything with a running sore, a festering rash, or a scab
These specific conditions further illustrate the need for purity and wholeness in offerings. In the cultural and historical context, physical imperfections were often seen as symbolic of spiritual or moral imperfections. The detailed prohibitions against offering animals with these conditions highlight the meticulous nature of the Levitical laws and the high standards set for worship. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness, where God calls His people to be set apart and pure, as seen inLeviticus 19:2.

you must not put any of these on the altar as a food offering to the LORD
The altar was a sacred place where offerings were made to God, symbolizing communion and fellowship with Him. The prohibition against placing blemished animals on the altar reinforces the sanctity of the worship process and the seriousness of approaching God. The term "food offering" indicates that these sacrifices were seen as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, as described inLeviticus 1:9. This concept is fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice is the ultimate offering, pleasing to God and reconciling humanity to Him, as noted inEphesians 5:2.

What Does Leviticus 22:22 Mean
You are not to present to the LORD

• The verse opens by reminding worshipers that every sacrifice is ultimately offered to the LORD Himself, not to priests or people (seeExodus 25:2;Malachi 1:7).

• Because the offering is for God, it must mirror His holiness (Leviticus 11:44) and proclaim His worth. Anything less than the best misrepresents His character and dishonors His name (Malachi 1:14).

any animal that is blind

• Blindness was a visible flaw; presenting such an animal would say that God deserves leftovers (Malachi 1:8).

•Deuteronomy 15:21 repeats the same restriction, underscoring that acceptable worship is consistent through the Law.

• The principle still matters today: our service and resources should come from the first and finest, not what we will never miss (2 Samuel 24:24).

injured, or maimed

• “Injured” points to recent harm, while “maimed” covers any permanent deformity. Either way, the sacrifice must be whole (Leviticus 22:20–21;Deuteronomy 17:1).

• Whole offerings foreshadow Christ, the unblemished Lamb who was perfect in every way when He was presented on the cross (1 Peter 1:19).

or anything with a running sore

• An oozing wound symbolized uncleanness and decay (Leviticus 13:3); it had no place in God’s presence.

•Isaiah 1:6 uses similar imagery to describe sin-ravaged Judah, showing how physical defects illustrate spiritual realities.

a festering rash, or a scab

• Even lesser blemishes disqualified an animal. Nothing was to suggest corruption or imperfection (Leviticus 13:42).

• The same principle guides believers: “Christ… without blemish” sets the pattern for lives that are sound and sincere (Ephesians 5:27;Philippians 1:10).

you must not put any of these on the altar as a food offering to the LORD

• The altar was the meeting point between holy God and sinful people; anything impure would desecrate it (Exodus 29:37).

• By insisting on flawless sacrifices, God prepared His people to recognize the supremacy of Jesus, whose blood “offered Himself unblemished to God” (Hebrews 9:14).

• Today the call is to present our bodies as “a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God” (Romans 12:1), guarding against attitudes or habits that would blemish our worship (1 Corinthians 5:7–8).

summary

Leviticus 22:22 insists that only flawless animals be offered because the LORD is holy, worthy, and foreshadows the perfect sacrifice of Christ. The verse teaches that worship must be wholehearted, unblemished, and reverent—reflecting God’s own character and pointing us to live as fit offerings in response to His grace.

(22)Blind.--Whether totally blind or only of one eye. This blemish also disqualified the priest for the service at the altar (seeLeviticus 21:18).

Or broken.--Better,broken-limbed(seeExodus 22:9), extending to the head, ribs, &c.

Or maimed.--This was regarded in the time of the second Temple to describe a blemish in the eyebrow. Hence the Chaldee version translates it "one whose eye-brows are fallen off." It would thus correspond to the defect which unfitted the priest for ministering at the altar.

Or having a wen.--According to the Jewish canonists this denotes a disease of the eyes. Hence the Chaldee version translates it "one whose eyes are smitten with a mixture of white and black," thus corresponding to the blemish which unfits the priest mentioned inLeviticus 21:19.

Or scurvy or scabbed.--These are exactly the same two defects specified with regard to the priests (seeLeviticus 21:20). . . .
