Leviticus 22:24-33 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

24. You shall not offer to the Lord any animal which has the testicles bruised, or crushed, or cut and taken away, and you shall not cause any of these things in your land.

25. From the hand of a foreigner, you shall not offer bread to your God, nor anything else that he would choose to give; for all this has been corrupted and blemished. You shall not accept them.

26. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

27. An ox, a sheep, or a goat, when they have been born, shall be under the udder of their mother for seven days. But on the eighth day and thereafter, they are able to be offered to the Lord.

28. Whether it is an ox, or a sheep, they shall not be immolated on the same day with their newborns.

29. If you immolate a victim as an act of thanksgiving to the Lord, so that he may be pleased,

30. you shall eat it on the same day; none of it shall remain until morning on the next day. I am the Lord.

31. Observe my commandments, and do them. I am the Lord.

32. Do not pollute my holy name, so that I may be sanctified in the midst of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord, who sanctifies you,

33. and who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be to you as God. I am the Lord.
