Rashi on Leviticus 22:23/רש"י על ויקרא כ״ב:כ״ג

אשרוע. אֵבֶר גָּדוֹל מֵחֲבֵרוֹ:
1שרוע is an animal that has one limb larger than its fellow-limb (Bekhorot 40a).
בוקלוט. פַּרְסוֹתָיו קְלוּטוֹת (בכורות מ'):
2וקלוט is an animal which has uncloven hoofs (the sign of uncleaness; cf. Leviticus 11:4—6. It is a שור or a שה which, being a clean animal, is fitted to be sacrificed, but abnormally its hoofs are uncloven) (Bekhorot 40a).
גנדבה תעשה אתו. לְבֶדֶק הַבַּיִת:
3נדבה תעשה אתו THOU MAYEST DESIGNATE IT FOR A FREE-WILL OFFERING for the purpose of repairing the breaches in the Temple from the proceeds of its sale,
דולנדר. לַמִּזְבֵּחַ:
4ולנדר BUT AS A VOW — i. e. as an animal vowed for the altar (for sacrifice), it shall not be accepted.
הלא ירצה. אֵי זֶה הֶקְדֵּשׁ בָּא לְרַצּוֹת? הֱוֵי אוֹמֵר זֶה הֶקְדֵּשׁ הַמִּזְבֵּחַ (תמורה ז'):
5לא ירצה [BUT AS A נדר] THERE SHALL NOT BE PROPITIATION — What dedicated thing is it that is intended to effect propiation? You must admit that it is something dedicated to the altar. Consequently נדר can only mean a sacrifice for the altar (Sifra, Emor, Chapter 7 6).
