Leviticus22:23

Lev 22:23

As a voluntary peace-offering they might indeed offer an ox or sheep that was רקלוּט שׂרוּע, “stretched out and drawn together,” i.e., with the whole body or certain limbs either too large or too small;In explanation of these words Knobel very properly remarks, that with the Greeks the sacrificial animal was required to be ἀφελής (Pollux i. 1, 26), upon which Hesychius observes, μήτε πλεονάζων μήτε δέων τι τοῦ σώματος. but such an animal could not be acceptable as a votive offering.
