Context of Leviticus 22:29

27‘When a cow or a sheep or a goat is born, it must stay with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day the people can give it as a burnt offering to the Lord. 28They must not kill a cow or a sheep and its baby on the same day. When they sacrifice an animal to thank the Lord, they must sacrifice it in the proper way. This will give the Lord pleasure. 30They must eat it on the day that they kill it. They must not keep any of it until the next day. I am the Lord. 31The people must obey my rules. I am the Lord.
