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. From the eighth day onward, it will be acceptable as an offering made by fire to the LORD. 28 Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same day. 29 When you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf. 30 It must be eaten on the same day; do not leave any of it until morning. 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.
