And the Lord spake unto Moses At the same time, as before, in a continued discourse, the subject being of the same kind, relating to sacrifices: saying, as follows.
24
An animal with bruised, crushed, torn or cut genitals you are not to offer to ADONAI. You are not to do these things in your land,
25
and you are not to receive any of these from a foreigner for you to offer as bread for your God, because their deformity is a defect in them - they will not be accepted from you.'"
27
"When a bull, sheep or goat is born, it is to stay with its mother for seven days; but from the eighth day on, it may be accepted for an offering made by fire to ADONAI.
28
However, no animal is to be slaughtered together with its young on the same day, neither cow nor ewe.
