Leviticus - ch 22 v 21 - 33
- And whoever makes a peace-offering to the Lord, in payment of an oath or as a free offering, from the herd or the flock, if it is to be pleasing to the Lord, let it be free from any mark or damage.
- Anything blind or broken or damaged or having any disease or any mark on it may not be offered to the Lord; you may not make an offering of it by fire on the altar to the Lord.
- An ox or a lamb which has more or less than its natural parts, may be given as a free offering; but it will not be taken in payment of an oath.
- An animal which has its sex parts damaged or crushed or broken or cut, may not be offered to the Lord; such a thing may not be done anywhere in your land.
- And from one who is not an Israelite you may not take any of these for an offering to the Lord; for they are unclean, there is a mark on them, and the Lord will not be pleased with them.
- And the Lord said to Moses,
- When an ox or a sheep or a goat is given birth, let it be with its mother for seven days; and after the eighth day it may be taken as an offering made by fire to the Lord.
- A cow or a sheep may not be put to death with its young on the same day.
- And when you make an offering of praise to the Lord, make it in a way which is pleasing to him.
- Let it be used for food on the same day; do not keep any part of it till the morning: I am the Lord.
- So then, keep my orders and do them: I am the Lord.
- And do not make my holy name common; so that it may be kept holy by the children of Israel: I am the Lord who make you holy,
- Who took you out of the land of Egypt that I might be your God: I am the Lord.
