19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
19 you must present a male without defect from the cattle, sheep or goats in order that it may be accepted on your behalf.
19 if it is to be accepted for you it shall be a male without blemish, of the bulls or the sheep or the goats.
19 must make sure that it is a male without defect from cattle, sheep, or goats for it to be acceptable.
19 you shall offer of your own free will a male without blemish from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats.
19 you will be accepted only if your offering is a male animal with no defects. It may be a bull, a ram, or a male goat.

Laws concerning the priests and sacrifices.
In this chapter we have divers laws concerning the priests and sacrifices, all for preserving the honour of the sanctuary. Let us recollect with gratitude that our great High Priest cannot be hindered by any thing from the discharge of his office. Let us also remember, that the Lord requires us to reverence his name, his truths, his ordinances, and commandments. Let us beware of hypocrisy, and examine ourselves concerning our sinful defilements, seeking to be purified from them in the blood of Christ, and by his sanctifying Spirit. Whoever attempts to expiate his own sin, or draws near in the pride of self-righteousness, puts as great an affront on Christ, as he who comes to the Lord's table from the gratification of sinful lusts. Nor can the minister who loves the souls of the people, suffer them to continue in this dangerous delusion. He must call upon them, not only to repent of their sins, and forsake them; but to put their whole trust in the atonement of Christ, by faith in his name, for pardon and acceptance with God; thus only will the Lord make them holy, as his own people.
