  preserve in their minds a holy reverence for the Divine
  Majesty.  Hence when they approached unto him, they must be
  free from every legal impurity.  If great men are to be
  approached with respect, how much more must Jehovah be
  approached with holy reverence!

VERSE 27 
 - seven days.
  It was necessary for the mother's health that the young one
  should suck so long; and prior to this time, the process of
  nutrition in a young animal can scarcely be considered as
  completely formed.  Besides this, it may justly be asserted,
  that the flesh of very young animals is comparatively
  innutritive.  There is something brutish in eating the young
  of beast or fowl, before the hair and hoofs are perfect in
  the one, and feathers and claws in the other; and before this
  period, their flesh is not good for food, consequently they
  were not fit for sacrifice, which is termed the bread or food
  of God, (ver. 25.)
