They are deformed and have defects; they will not be accepted on your behalf. 26 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 27 When an ox, sheep, or goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days.

I am the LORD. 31 Therefore, keep My commandments and follow them. I am the LORD. 32 Do not profane My holy name, for I must be regarded as holy among the Israelites. I am the LORD, who makes you holy. 33 I brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.
