Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 22:25

Home

Torah

25 ‎[1] FROM THE HAND OF A FOREIGNER. One should not think as follows: I will not hesitate to offer this sacrifice, for it is the offering of a foreigner.

‎[2] THEIR CORRUPTION. The *mem* of *moshchatam* (their corruption) is not a root letter. However, its *tav* is a root letter. *Moshchatam* is related to the word *hashchatah* (destruction). On the other hand, the *mem* of *moshchatam* (their anointing) (Ex.40:15) is a root letter and the *tav* is not.

‎[3] BE ACCEPTED. *Yeratzu* (be accepted) is a *nifal*. After stating that a blemished sacrifice will not be accepted, Scripture goes on to say that any sacrifice brought from an animal less than eight days old will also not be accepted.
