Leviticus 23 ~ Religious Festivals

God spoke to Moses about high holy days, days of festival and the Sabbath. God provided Moses with rituals which were to be strictly adhered to and advised that on these specific days, which he listed, there was to be no work performed. God also made provisions for the poor and needy by advising the children of Israel to leave some grain behind especially on the perimeters of their fields for those who were wandering and hungry.

Leviticus 22 ~ Holy Offerings

God's children were urged not to eat anything that had been either killed by a wild animal or had died of natural causes. The priests were advised not to partake of sacred foods when unclean. Sacred foods were only to be eaten by the priest and his family or slaves which were born in their home. If the daughter moves from the home and marries outside the priesthood she is no longer to partake of the sacred meal. Animals used for offering were to be blemish free. A newborn animal and it's mother was not to be sacrificed the same day. Newborn animals were not to sacrificed before the age of 8 days. Meat was to be eaten the same day and none was to be saved for eating on the following day.
