“Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.”
You must present a male without defect from the cattle, sheep or goats in order that it may be accepted on your behalf. The male without defect requirement for the burnt offering from the major domesticated animals — the standard that Leviticus 1 established — is here confirmed with the purpose: in order that it may be accepted on your behalf. The acceptance is the goal; the without-defect requirement is the condition of acceptance. The offering that fails to meet the condition fails to achieve the goal.
