Leviticus 22:27

Compare all

25 Nor ^afrom a foreigner’s hand shall you offer any of these as ^bthe bread of your God, because their ^ccorruption is in them, and defects are in them. They shall not be accepted on your behalf.’ ”

26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

27 ^a“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 shall be accepted as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

28 Whether it is a cow or ewe, do not kill both her ^aand her young on the same day.

29 And when you ^aoffer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it of your own free will.

Leviticus 22:27

No victim was to be offered in sacrifice until it was a week old. The meaning of this law appears to be that the animal should realise a distinct existence in becoming less dependent on its mother, and able to provide for its own wants.
