כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־בּ֥וֹ מ֖וּם לֹ֣א תַקְרִ֑יבוּ כִּי־לֹ֥א לְרָצ֖וֹן יִהְיֶ֥ה לָכֶֽם׃
무릇 흠 있는 것을 너희는 드리지 말 것은 그것이 열납되지 못할 것임이니라
Zohar
A person who is righteous is (himself) a sacrifice given for atonement (because he sacrifices his own desire, overcoming his will). But a person, who is not righteous, is not accepted as a sacrifice because he is blemished. As it is written: "For it shall not be acceptable for you" (Lev. 22:20). So the righteous alone atone for the world and are accepted as sacrifices in this world. (Until here) (parenthesis in the text). Come and behold: "And Elohim said to Noah, the End of all Flesh is come before Me" (Gen. 6:13), And it came to receive permission to darken the faces of humankind. So that is why "I will destroy them with the earth" (Ibid.)
