²⁷ When an ox or a sheep or a goat is given birth, let it be with its mother for seven days; and after the eighth day it may be taken as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

³⁰ In the same way with your oxen and your sheep: for seven days let the young one be with its mother; on the eighth day give it to me.

² Say to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell.

³ And on the eighth day let him be given circumcision.

²³ And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.

²⁴ And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord.

²⁵ And from one who is not an Israelite you may not take any of these for an offering to the Lord; for they are unclean, there is a mark on them, and the Lord will not be pleased with them.
