Leviticus 22:27-33 New International Version (NIV)

27. “When a calf, a lamb or a goat is born, it is to remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as a food offering presented to the Lord.

28. Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same day.

29. “When you sacrifice a thank offering to the Lord, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.

30. It must be eaten that same day; leave none of it till morning. I am the Lord.

31. “Keep my commands and follow them. I am the Lord.

32. Do not profane my holy name, for I must be acknowledged as holy by the Israelites. I am the Lord, who made you holy

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