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
Any animal that has its testicles bruised or crushed or torn or cut, you shall not offer to the Lord; such you shall not do within your land,
25
nor shall you accept any such animals from a foreigner to offer as food to your God; since they are mutilated, with a blemish in them, they shall not be accepted in your behalf.
27
When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day on it shall be acceptable as the Lord's offering by fire.
28
But you shall not slaughter, from the herd or the flock, an animal with its young on the same day.
