Leviticus 22:26 In-Context

24 You must not offer to the LORD anything with bruised, crushed, torn, or cut-off testicles. You must not do that in your land.

25 You are not allowed to offer such animals as your God's food even if they come from a foreigner. Because these animals have blemishes and imperfections in them, they will not be acceptable on your behalf.

26 The LORD said to Moses:

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

28 But you will not slaughter an ox or sheep and its offspring on the same day.
