Leviticus 22:21-33 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

21. ‘And when a man brings a peace offering to יהוה, to complete a vow, or a voluntary offering from the cattle or the sheep, it is to be perfect to be accepted, let there be no defect in it.

22. ‘Those blind or broken or having a cut, or have an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you do not bring to יהוה, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to יהוה.

23. ‘As for a bull or a lamb that has any limb deformed or dwarfed you do prepare as a voluntary offering, but for a vow it is not accepted.

24. ‘Do not bring to יהוה what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut, nor do it in your land.

25. ‘And from a son of a stranger’s hand you do not bring any of these as the bread of your Elohim, for their corruption is in them, and defects are in them, they are not acceptable for you.’ ”

26. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

27. “When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be seven days with its mother. And from the eighth day and thereafter it is acceptable as an offering made by fire to יהוה.

28. “But do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same day.

29. “And when you bring a slaughtering of thanksgiving to יהוה, bring it for your acceptance.

30. “It is eaten that same day, leave none of it till morning. I am יהוה.

31. “And you shall guard My commands and do them. I am יהוה.

32. “And do not profane My set-apart Name, and I shall be set-apart among the children of Yisra’ĕl. I am יהוה, who sets you apart,

33. who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. I am יהוה.”
