26. The Lord told Moses to say:
27. Newborn cattle, sheep, or goats must remain with their mothers for seven days, but on the eighth day, you may send them up in smoke to me, and I will accept the offering.
28. Don't sacrifice a newborn animal and its mother on the same day.
29. When you offer a sacrifice to give thanks to me, you must do it in a way that is acceptable.
30. Eat all the meat that same day and don't save any for the next day. I am the Lord your God!
31. Obey my laws and teachings—I am the Lord.
32-33. I demand respect from the people of Israel, so don't disgrace my holy name. Remember—I am the one who chose you to be priests and rescued all of you from Egypt, so that I would be your Lord.
