Exegesis
A triad of disqualifying conditions follows: pisseach {פִּסֵּ֙חַ֙ | pis·sêaḥ} ‘lame’, linked by o {אוֹ | ’ō} ‘or’ to ivver {עִوֵּ֔ר | ’î·wêr} ‘blind’, and then kol mum ra {כֹּ֖ל מ֣וּם רָ֑ע | kōl mūm rā‘} ‘any bad defect’, creating a cumulative effect.
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 .
