חולין פרק ה׳ משנה ה׳
With regard to the phrase “one day” that is stated with regard to the prohibition against slaughtering an animal itself and its offspring, the day follows the night. Therefore, one may slaughter an animal during the day and slaughter its offspring that night, but one may not slaughter an animal at night and slaughter its offspring the following day. Rabbi Shimon ben Zoma derived this by means of a verbal analogy. It is stated in the act of Creation: “One day” (Genesis 1:5), and it is stated with regard to the slaughter of an animal itself and its offspring: “One day” (Leviticus 22:28). Just as concerning the phrase “one day” that is stated in the act of Creation, the day follows the night, so too concerning the phrase “one day” that is stated with regard to the slaughter of an animal itself and its offspring, the day follows the night.
יוֹם אֶחָד הָאָמוּר בְּאוֹתוֹ וְאֶת בְּנוֹ, הַיּוֹם הוֹלֵךְ אַחַר הַלָּיְלָה. אֶת זוֹ דָרַשׁ שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן זוֹמָא. נֶאֱמַר בְּמַעֲשֵׂה בְרֵאשִׁית (בראשית א), יוֹם אֶחָד, וְנֶאֱמַר בְּאוֹתוֹ וְאֶת בְּנוֹ (ויקרא כב), יוֹם אֶחָד. מַה יּוֹם אֶחָד הָאָמוּר בְּמַעֲשֵׂה בְרֵאשִׁית הַיּוֹם הוֹלֵךְ אַחַר הַלַּיְלָה, אַף יוֹם אֶחָד הָאָמוּר בְּאוֹתוֹ וְאֶת בְּנוֹ, הַיוֹם הוֹלֵךְ אַחַר הַלָּיְלָה:

יום אחד האמור באותו ואת בנו כו׳ לפי שפרשת אותו ואת בנו סמוכה לקדשים, דכתיב ירצה לקרבן אשה, וסמיך ליה אותו ואת בנו. ובקדשים לילה הולך אחר היום, דכתיב (ויקרא ז׳:ט״ו) ביום קרבנו יאכל לא יניח ממנו עד בוקר, אלמא לילה שלאחריו קרוי יום קרבנו עד הבוקר. יכול אף זה כן [נאמר כאן יום אחר] ונאמר במעשה בראשית יום אחד וכו׳:
יום אחד האמור באותו ואת בנו כו' – because the portion of “the animal and its young” (Leviticus 22:28) is adjacent to the sacrifice, and it is written (Leviticus 22:27): “[ad from the eighth day on] it shall be acceptable as a gift to [the LORD],” and adjacent to it, “the animal and its young” (Leviticus 22:28). But with Holy Things, the night follows after the day, as it is written (Leviticus 7:15): “[And the flesh of his thanksgiving sacrifice of well-being] shall be eaten on the day that it is offered; none of it shall be set aside until morning.” So we see that the night that is after it is called the “on the day...until morning.” It is possible that even this is the case [it is stated here, “one day”] and it is stated in the Creation story (Genesis 1:5): “[And there was evening and there was morning] the first day.”
