Contextual Overview

1 If an ox or sheep has something wrong with it, do not offer it as a sacrifice to the Lord your God. He would hate that. 2 A man or woman in one of the towns the Lord gave you might be found doing something evil and breaking the Agreement. 3 That person may have served other gods and bowed down to them or to the sun or moon or stars of the sky, which I have commanded should not be done. 4 If someone has told you about it, you must look into the matter carefully. If it is true that such a hateful thing has happened in Israel, 5 take the man or woman who has done the evil thing to the city gates and throw stones at that person until he dies. 6 There must be two or three witnesses that it is true before the person is put to death; if there is only one witness, the person should not be put to death. 7 The witnesses must be the first to throw stones at the person, and then everyone else will follow. You must get rid of the evil among you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy God any bullock or sheep wherein is blemish,.... No sacrifice of any sort, whether burnt offering, sin offering, or peace offering, was to have any blemish in it; typical of the unblemished and immaculate Lamb of God, who, being without sin, offered himself without spot to God, and so could take away the sins of others by the sacrifice of himself; see Leviticus 22:18,

[or] any evilfavouredness; any sickness or disease upon it of any sort, which made it ill favoured to the sight, or disagreeable to the smell, or however unacceptable for sacrifice:

for that is an abomination to the Lord thy God; every such blemished and ill favoured sacrifice; see Malachi 1:8.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This verse belongs in subject to the last chapter. It prohibits once more (compare Deuteronomy 15:21) that form of insult to God which consists in offering to Him a blemished sacrifice.

Any evil-favoredness - Render any evil thing. The reference is to the faults or maims enumerated in Leviticus 22:22-24.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XVII

All sacrifices to be without blemish, 1.

Of persons consisted of idolatry and their punishment, 2-7.

Difficult matters in judgment to be laid before the priests and

judges, and to be determined by them; and all to submit to their

decision, 8-13.

The king that may be chosen to be one of their brethren; no

stranger to be appointed to that office, 14, 15.

He shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to

return unto Egypt, 16.

Nor multiply wives, money, &c., 17.

He shall write a copy of the law for his own use, and read and

study it all his days, that his heart be not lifted up above

his brethren, 18-20.

NOTES ON CHAP. XVII

Verse Deuteronomy 17:1. Wherein is blemish — God must not have that offered to him which thou wouldst not use thyself. This not only refers to the perfect sacrifice offered by Christ Jesus, but to that sincerity and uprightness of heart which God requires in all those who approach him in the way of worship.
