96 - OFFERING BLEMISHED SACRIFICES OF A GENTILE
Leviticus 22:25 -- “Nor from a foreigner's hand shall you offer any of these as the bread of your God, because their corruption is in them, and defects are in them. They shall not be accepted on your behalf.”
While burnt offerings were accepted from gentiles, no sacrifice whatever was accepted from an Israelite who had worshipped idols, or had profaned the Sabbath publicly.* A priest, who had worshipped idols, either willfully or unintentionally, was further debarred forever from ministering in the sanctuary, even though he had repented.**
