Exegesis
The prohibition appears in the apodosis with lo tizbakhennu {לֹ֣א תִזְבָּחֶ֔נּוּ | lō tiz·bə·ḥén·nû} ‘you must not sacrifice it’, followed by la-YHWH {לַיהוָה | la·YHWH} ‘to the LORD’ and eloheikha {אֱלֹהֶיךָ | ’ĕ·lō·hê·kā} ‘your God’, framing the rule within the covenant relationship.
In context — Deuteronomy 15:21
But if there is in it a defect —lame or blind or any bad defect—you must not sacrifice it to the LORD your God .
