"Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'You shall eat no fat, of bull, or sheep, or goat.

that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

"When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is born, then it shall remain seven days with its mother; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

"'Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to Yahweh, no man may dedicate it; whether an ox or sheep, it is Yahweh's.
