Context of Leviticus 22:29

27“When an ox, a sheep, or a goat is born, it must remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as a food offering presented to the LORD. 28But you must not slaughter an ox or a sheep on the same day as its young.

I am the LORD. 31You are to keep My commandments and practice them. I am the LORD.
