Leviticus 22:27-33

27 As for a calf, or a sheep, or a goat, whenever it is born, then shall it be seven days under its mother; and on the eighth day and after they shall be accepted for sacrifices, a burnt-offering to the Lord.

28 And a bullock and a ewe, it and its young, thou shalt not kill in one day.

29 And if thou shouldest offer a sacrifice, a vow of rejoicing to the Lord, ye shall offer it so as to be accepted for you.

30 In that same day it shall be eaten; ye shall not leave of the flesh till the morrow: I am the Lord.

31 And ye shall keep my commandments and do them.

32 And ye shall not profane the name of the Holy One, and I will be sanctified in the midst of the children of Israel. I the Lord that sanctifies you,

33 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I the Lord.

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 22

In this chapter several laws are delivered out, forbidding the priests to eat of holy things, when in any uncleanness, or at any time what dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, Le 22:1-9; also showing who belonging to the priests might or might not eat of the holy things, Le 22:10-16; and others requiring that whatever offerings were brought by the children, of Israel, they should be perfect and without blemish, Le 22:17-25; and also declaring what age a creature should be of when sacrificed, and the time when thank offerings were to be eaten, Le 22:26-30; concluding with an exhortation to observe the commands of God, and sanctify him, and not profane his name, Le 22:31-33.
