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
If an animal has damaged testicles or is castrated, you may not offer it to the LORD . You must never do this in your own land,
25
and you must not accept such an animal from foreigners and then offer it as a sacrifice to your God. Such animals will not be accepted on your behalf, for they are mutilated or defective.”
27
“When a calf or lamb or goat is born, it must be left with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as a special gift to the LORD .
28
But you must not slaughter a mother animal and her offspring on the same day, whether from the herd or the flock.
