29 "When you sacrifice a thank offering to the Lord, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.
29 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it at your own will.
29 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.
29 When you sacrifice a Thanksgiving-Offering to God, do it right so it will be acceptable.
29 And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it of your own free will.
29 When you bring a thanksgiving offering to the Lord, sacrifice it properly so you will be accepted.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 22:29

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.
