From Leviticus

Leviticus 1:1

And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

With a deep, resonating voice, the LORD summoned Moses. His words echoed from within the sacred meeting tent, saying,

Leviticus 9:7

And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.

Moses, with a heavy heart, turned to Aaron and said, "Aaron, you must go to the altar. Offer your own sins and sacrifices, seek forgiveness for yourself and for our people. Then, present the people's offerings and seek their forgiveness too, just as the Lord has instructed us."

Leviticus 15:7

And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

Anyone who comes into physical contact with the person suffering from the affliction must cleanse their clothes, take a bath, and consider themselves impure until sunset.

Leviticus 22:21

And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

Whoever presents a peace offering to God, fulfilling a promise or giving freely from their cattle or sheep, must ensure it is flawless to be accepted; it must be without any defect.
