Leviticus 22:25-33 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

25. Do not offer as a food offering any animal obtained from a foreigner. Such animals are considered defective and are not acceptable.

26-27. When a calf or a lamb or a kid is born, it must not be taken from its mother for seven days, but after that it is acceptable as a food offering.

28. Do not sacrifice a cow and its calf or a sheep and its lamb or a goat and its kid on the same day.

29. When you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, follow the rules so that you will be accepted;

30. eat it the same day and leave none of it until the next morning.

31. The Lord said, “Obey my commands; I am the Lord.

32. Do not bring disgrace on my holy name; all the people of Israel must acknowledge me to be holy. I am the Lord and I make you holy;

33. and I brought you out of Egypt to become your God. I am the Lord.”
