Exegesis
It sets up alternative coordination between “ox or sheep,” specified by the adjectives sarua {שָׂר֣וּעַ | śārûaʿ} ‘deformed’ and kalut {וְקָל֑וּט | wə-qālût} ‘stunted’.
In context — Leviticus 22:23
If an ox or a sheep is deformed or stunted, you may offer it as a freewill offering ; but for a vow, it shall not be accepted.
