It should rather just say “G’di”, if it means 1 kid goat. So the Torah is trying to tell us something by persisting in using “G’di Ha-Izzim”. What is it trying to tell us?<br /><br /> It is telling us that it is linking “G’di” (a kid) in the singular, to “Ha-Izzim” (which is plural of “goat”, “the goats”). Therefore the unusual (and prevalent) linkage of the Hebrew word “G’di” in the Tanach to a plural term, refers to a generality/PLURALITY and not a singularity. So where the Torah says- “don’t cook kid in milk of its mother”- <br /> <br />It is referring to a generality/plurality ie ALL young, in the milk of their mothers. This is not even unusual for the Torah- to do this kind of thing- The Written Torah has several Laws in which a specific instance is used to illustrate a general principle. <br /><br />For example, the Written Torah speaks of an ox that gores a person: “And if an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die, the ox shall be surely stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; and the owner of the ox shall be clear” (Ex 21:28)<br /><br />Hence we may deduce from the LITERAL text that one is not to cook ANY milk, in meat. I have written a whole article on this and the Oral Torah, this anyone may work out by going through the 5 books of Moses carefully, and in Hebrew.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170726902683483449.post-20956430666710501452012-06-03T00:04:35.462+03:002012-06-03T00:04:35.462+03:00I just want to clarify that the torah greats in ha...I just want to clarify that the torah greats in halacha like Rabbi Moses Feinstein of blessed memory , were able to poskin often times by bringing proof from the Talmud , a proof from the Gemorah has the most weight in halacha .joshua manevitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031734024735579885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170726902683483449.post-13295163307799308742012-06-02T23:57:11.799+03:002012-06-02T23:57:11.799+03:00Moriah , it so happens to be that the prohibition ...Moriah , it so happens to be that the prohibition of eating milk together with meat is מדרבנן , cooking is an issur mdorisa from the Torah .joshua manevitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031734024735579885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170726902683483449.post-80326630727227252692012-06-01T17:49:25.130+03:002012-06-01T17:49:25.130+03:00The Torah does not give the details of how to inte...The Torah does not give the details of how to interpret the mitzvot. That is why the thousands of pages of the Talmud and millions of pages of commentary from the sages were necessary. The Torah most definitely restricts the mixing of milk and meat as explained in an extensive amount of detail in the Talmud (Chulin). We are not capable, especially in English, of understanding the Torah's instructions, but it was not a Rabbi who made it up. All is from Hashem as told to Moses.<br />Good ShabbosThe Absolute Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060786380470453883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170726902683483449.post-78114652301619163052012-06-01T17:40:32.679+03:002012-06-01T17:40:32.679+03:00For two thousand years the church has persecuted, ...For two thousand years the church has persecuted, exiled and killed Jews because of what it says in the Bible and the Talmud about their deity. The inquisition, the crusades, programs, libels, holocaust, even terrorist activity are all due to the fact that the non-Jews aren't interested in the truth. It became so dangerous that any non-Jew who was learning Jewish scriptures was stopped (usually by the church) and it always resulted in death of Jews. The biggest reason that non-Jews were interested was to build evidence against the Jew -- giving the non-Jew justification for atrocities. The fact that the information came from Hashem was always in dispute and ignored. Knowing how dangerous it was for a church member to learn the truth, the church put great restrictions on the non-Jew. The church until about 200 years ago forbade its members from studying scriptures. <br />Present day is very different; even though, I still am not supposed to teach scriptures to a non-Jew. If I am teaching a Jew and a non-Jew listens to instructions, that is alright and that is the way that I have instructed non-Jews (potential converts) in the past. I know of no restriction for a Noahide in this day and age since the church is fairly powerless. This is a long and complicated subject and I am far from covering it all. I am curious, however, where exactly you saw the statement "harsh punishment" and under what context was the statement?The Absolute Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060786380470453883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170726902683483449.post-68117348561417648862012-06-01T17:00:07.397+03:002012-06-01T17:00:07.397+03:00Someone brought up the mixing of milk and meat and...Someone brought up the mixing of milk and meat and said it was the rabbi's who came up with this - it is not in Torah. Three times in Torah it states " Do not seethe a kid in it's mother's milk." But it does not say " Do not eat milk and meat together"(that is what this person was saying) Will you cover this some time so we can have an answer to give them as I was unable to find where it stated " Do not eat milk and meat together." However, If one is cooking milk and meat together it seems like a given that they are planning to eat it together. And if we are forbidden to cook it together than common sense says don't eat it at the same time.Moriahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031303390387367887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170726902683483449.post-80009223667190504772012-06-01T14:09:00.476+03:002012-06-01T14:09:00.476+03:00Shalom,
