New Living Translation (NLT)
Leviticus 22
27 “When a calf or lamb or goat is born, it must be left with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as a special gift to the LORD.
28 But you must not slaughter a mother animal and her offspring on the same day, whether from the herd or the flock.
29 When you bring a thanksgiving offering to the LORD, sacrifice it properly so you will be accepted.
30 Eat the entire sacrificial animal on the day it is presented. Do not leave any of it until the next morning. I am the LORD.
31 “You must faithfully keep all my commands by putting them into practice, for I am the LORD.
32 Do not bring shame on my holy name, for I will display my holiness among the people of Israel. I am the LORD who makes you holy.
33 It was I who rescued you from the land of Egypt, that I might be your God. I am the LORD.”
Leviticus 23
1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. These are the LORD’s appointed festivals, which you are to proclaim as official days for holy assembly.
3 “You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of complete rest, an official day for holy assembly. It is the LORD’s Sabbath day, and it must be observed wherever you live.
4 “In addition to the Sabbath, these are the LORD’s appointed festivals, the official days for holy assembly that are to be celebrated at their proper times each year.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
