26
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27
When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be acceptable as the Lord's offering by fire.
28
But you shall not slaughter, from the herd or the flock, an animal with its young on the same day.
29
When you sacrifice a thanksgiving offering to the Lord, you shall sacrifice it so that it may be acceptable in your behalf.
