Leviticus 22:26 In-Context

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.
