Exodus 23:19
The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his {l} mother's milk. (l) Meaning, that no fruit should be taken before just time: and by this all cruel and wanton appetites are controlled.Deuteronomy 14:21
Ye shall not eat [of] any thing that {c} dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the {d} stranger that [is] in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. (c) Because their blood was not shed, but remains in them. (d) Who is not of your religion.
