26Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 27“WhenH3588 an oxH7794 orH176 a sheepH3775 orH176 a goatH5795 is bornH3205, it shall 12remainH1961 13sevenH7651 daysH3117 14with its motherH517, and from the eighthH8066 dayH3117 on it shall be acceptedH7521 as a sacrificeH7133 of an offeringH801 by fireH801 to the LordH3068. 2815But, whether it is an oxH7794 orH176 a sheepH7716, you shall not killH7819 both it and its youngH1121 in oneH259 dayH3117. 29WhenH3588 you sacrificeH2076 16a sacrificeH2077 of thanksgivingH8426 to the LordH3068, you shall sacrificeH2076 it so that you may be acceptedH7522. 30It shall be eatenH398 on the sameH1931 dayH3117, you shall leaveH3498 noneH3808 of it untilH5704 morningH1242; I am the LordH3068. 3117So you shall keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687, and doH6213 them; I am the LordH3068.
