Commentary on Leviticus 22:27

Theological / Devotional

Seven days under the dam. That is, with its mother. A newborn animal was not immediately acceptable as an offering (see on Ex. 22:30). There was no upper age limit for offerings, except as specifically stated. Gideon offered a bullock seven years old (Judges 6:25).
