Leviticus 22:26–30 · Berean Standard Bible

26 Then the LORD said to Moses,

27 “When an ox, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as an offering made by fire to the LORD.

28 But you must not slaughter an ox or a sheep on the same day as its young.

29 When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, offer it so that it may be acceptable on your behalf.

30 It must be eaten that same day. Do not leave any of it until morning. I am the LORD.
