Leviticus 22:24-33 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

24. You are not to present to the Lord anything that has bruised, crushed, torn, or severed testicles; you must not sacrifice them in your land.

25. Neither you nor a foreigner are to present food to your God from any of these animals. They will not be accepted for you because they are deformed and have a defect.”

26. The Lord spoke to Moses:

27. “When an ox, sheep, or goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days; from the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as a gift, a fire offering to the Lord.

28. But you are not to slaughter an animal from the herd or flock on the same day as its young.

29. When you sacrifice a thank offering to the Lord, sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

30. It is to be eaten on the same day. Do not let any of it remain until morning; I am Yahweh.

31. “You are to keep My commands and do them; I am Yahweh.

32. You must not profane My holy name; I must be treated as holy among the Israelites. I am Yahweh who sets you apart,

33. the One who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God; I am Yahweh.”
