Deuteronomy 15:21

Firstborn Animals

20Each year you and your household are to eat it before the LORD your God in the place the LORD will choose.21But if an animal has a defect, is lame or blind, or has any serious flaw, you must not sacrifice it to the LORD your God.22Eat it within your gates; both the ceremonially unclean and clean may eat it as they would a gazelle or a deer.
