Leviticus 22:28-33

28 whether that is a cow, whether a sheep; those shall not be offered in one day with their fruits. (but whether it is a cow, or a sheep, thou shalt not offer them on the same day with their young.)
29 If ye offer to the Lord a sacrifice for the doing of thankings, that it may be pleasant [that it may be pleasable], (If ye offer a sacrifice of a thank offering to the Lord, so that it shall be acceptable,)
30 ye shall eat it in the same day in which it is offered; anything thereof (ye) shall not leave into the morrowtide of the tother day; I am the Lord. (ye shall eat it on the same day in which it is offered; ye shall not leave anything of it into the morning of the next day; I am the Lord.)
31 Keep ye my behests, and do ye those; I am the Lord.
32 Defoul ye not mine holy name, that I be hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I am the Lord, that hallow(eth) you, (Do not ye defile my holy name, I shall be hallowed in the midst of the Israelites; I am the Lord, who maketh you holy,)
33 and led you out of the land of Egypt, that I should be to you into God (so that I could become your God); I am the Lord.

Leviticus 22:28-33 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 22

In this chapter several laws are delivered out, forbidding the priests to eat of holy things, when in any uncleanness, or at any time what dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, Le 22:1-9; also showing who belonging to the priests might or might not eat of the holy things, Le 22:10-16; and others requiring that whatever offerings were brought by the children, of Israel, they should be perfect and without blemish, Le 22:17-25; and also declaring what age a creature should be of when sacrificed, and the time when thank offerings were to be eaten, Le 22:26-30; concluding with an exhortation to observe the commands of God, and sanctify him, and not profane his name, Le 22:31-33.
