Context of Leviticus 22:29

27“When an ox, sheep, or goat is born, it is to remain with its mother for seven days; from the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as an offering, a food offering to the Lord. 28But you are not to slaughter an animal from the herd or flock on the same day as its young. When you offer a thanksgiving sacrifice to the Lord, offer it so that you may be accepted. 30It is to be eaten on the same day. Do not let any of it remain until morning; I am the Lord. 31“You are to keep my commands and do them; I am the Lord.
