What are the connotations of "li'Retzonchem"?

1.

Rashi: When you bring a Korban Olah, be sure to bring one that will cause Hashem to accept it - a male that is not blemished.

2.

Seforno: It comes to preclude Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis, which do not come to appease, from the P'sul of Ba'alei-Mumin.

3.

Sifra: It teaches us that if a Tzibur is lax in bringing their Korban, they cannot be forced to do so. 1

See Torah Temimah, note 111.

2)

Why is one not permitted to bring a Ba'al-Mum on the Mizbe'ach?

1.

Seforno #1: Because Hashem's works are perfect; therefore what one brings before Him 1 must also be perfect. 2

2.

Seforno #2 (on Pasuk 20): Because one would not bring a blemished animal before one's king. 3

3.

Seforno #3 (on Pasuk 20): Even if the animal is without blemish when it is designated, and becomes blemished only afterwards, one may not bring the Emurim on the Mizbe'ach, 4 because Hashem detests Ba'alei-Mumin.

Seforno (on Pasuk 25): Oznayim la'Torah: As well as the person who brings it.

2

As the Pasuk writes in Ha'azinu Devarim, 32:4 "ha'Tzur Tamim Pa'olo".

Refer to 22:18:2:2*.

4

Seforno: As the Torah indicates in Pasuk 22.

3)

Why does the Pasuk see fit to specify "Tamim Zachar ba'Bakar, ba'Kesavim u'va'Izim"?

1.

Rashi: To preclude an Olas ha'Of from the P'sul of Ba'alei-Mumin. 1

2.

Refer to 22;18:5:2.

Rashi: It is Pasul however, if it is missing a limb. See also Torah Temimah, note 122.
