26 The Lord said to Moses,
27 “When an ox, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must stay seven days with its mother. But from the eighth day on, this animal will be accepted as a sacrifice by fire to the Lord.
28 But you must not kill the animal and its mother on the same day, either an ox or a sheep.
29 “If you want to offer some special offering of thanks to the Lord, you must do it in a way that pleases him.
30 You must eat the whole animal that same day and not leave any of the meat for the next morning. I am the Lord.
31 “Remember my commands and obey them; I am the Lord.
32 Show respect for my holy name. You Israelites must remember that I am holy; I am the Lord, who has made you holy.
