    Deuteronomy is originally from the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish mythology, the book is from the sermons of Moses. Though, it’s believed to be much more recent (something like a 1000 years) than the time period where the figure of Moses (or the person(s) he was based on) would have existed. But, even taking Jewish and Christian mythologies at their word, Jesus had nothing to do with that rule. Also, Jesus probably meant for this rule to end for adherents of Christianity.

    Mark 7:14-23:
    14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.
    15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”
    17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.
    18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?
    19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)
    20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.
    21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,
    22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
    23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

    So, feel free to boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. Jesus is A-ok with that.

        I would be surprised if they were borrowing ideas from other cultures in the area (and vice versa). The various peoples in Mesopotamia were interacting regularly; so, some back and forth of ideas is to be expected. Though as a law code, Deuteronomy seems like it would be more home grown.

      Also, Jesus probably meant for this rule to end for adherents of Christianity.

      I mean, Jesus was Jewish and he wouldn’t have called his followers Christians because he hadn’t died on a cross yet. He would have called them his Jewish brothers and his followers would have done the same for decades afterwards. He was the leader of a sect of Judaism.

        I think what he’s referring to is much of the Jewish traditions (by other Christian denominations) are deemed unnecessary because Jesus fulfilled the prophecies and therefore “preparation” for his coming is no longer required.

        It’s a little hard to explain but that’s why Christians don’t do any of the dietary restrictions in the old testament.

        It’s been a long time since I read any of the bible, but wasn’t there some story in it somewhere where some guy uses that and is immediately killed by god or something? (albiet I think the justification was some sort of tradition obligating him to have a child with a specific person, and his behavior was supposed to be exploiting that without fulfilling his end or something like that).

      How did you get that it was alright to boil a young goat in its mother’s milk out of that?

      Sure, he says you could eat the young goat that has been boiled in its mother’s milk.

      But nothing saying it’s alright to boil the young goat in the first place, which the OP verse clearly states.

        It’s a technicality. Jesus didn’t require any of the old law to be followed unless expressly said otherwise. The only two things that were expressly said otherwise was “love God” and “love your neighbor”. Therefore, baby goat milk boiling is fine.

        The Old Testament Law/Covenant still stands today and you have the choice to try to follow it if you want. I don’t see why you would want to because it’s “to be perfect you have to do all this all your life but TLDR you’ve already broken it so it’s impossible and you’re already condemned”. Jesus introduced a new covenant (aka testament, hence “New Testament”, also called “New Covenant” in some bibles) of grace and forgiveness, which is superior to the Old. We don’t ignore the Old as such, we just follow the New because it’s better.

        It’s Yahweh’s laws but the mythology has it provided by Moses in his sermons to the Israelites. As for Christians ignoring bits of it, part of that is based on saying attributed to Jesus in the gospels (e.g. the bit from Mark I quoted above) and also the simple fact that most religions update themselves as society changes. If anything, I think the Catholic church was smart to have a leader who could receive “new revelations from God”. It lets them update canon, while maintaining the illusion that they aren’t just making shit up to stay relevant.

    I like Rabbi Joseph Bekhor Shor’s interpretation. It’s far from being accepted in Judaism - probably because it makes so much sense.

    The interpretation is based on the fact that the passage originally appears in Exodus twice - but not in a section about Kosher laws. It appears in sections about Bikurim - bringing offerings to the temple:

    • www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+23%3A…
    • www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+34%3A…

    The very same verse that contains that law also contains a law about Bikkurim:

    Bring the best firstfruits of your land to the house of the Lord your God.

    You must not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.

    Because these two laws seem so unrelated, Rabbi Joseph Bekhor Shor suggests a different way to read the second part.

    In Hebrew, the root of the word “cook”/“boil” is B-SH-L - and this is also the root of the word “ripe”/“mature”. Because of that, it’s possible to read “you must not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk” as “you must not let a young goat mature while drinking its mother’s milk”.

    This makes the second part of the verse a repetition of the first part - a pattern very common in the Old Testament as a (vain) attempt to prevent misinterpretations. Reading it like so, both parts mean “the offerings should be as young and as fresh as possible”.

    That reading is a little bit odd - but not too odd in biblical language standards, and it makes so much more sense in the context where the passage appears.

        Given how many homographs and other homonyms English has (and presumably other languages, I’ve definitely seen one Hebrew homograph when vowels are removed), it doesn’t sound like a complete stretch for this to be a similar homonym situation.

      You know what also doesn’t make sense? Not boiling chicken in milk. I can guarantee you that’s not the milk of the chicken’s mother. The “don’t boil a young goat in the milk of its mother” at least has a proper interpretation in the sense of “there were some people who did that and God came and God said ‘yo that’s nasty, stop it’”. Something about not using sacrifice as an opportunity to practice transgression.

      In the end I think the Torah is just a tool for Jews to have something to argue about endlessly.

    This would have come from a time when ancient Judaism was evolving out of its polytheistic roots. The early sections of the Hebrew scriptures tended to treat other gods as existing, but you’re only supposed to worship YHWH.

    Likely, there was some specific ritual that had been used in local polytheistic practices, and it’s specifically telling you not to do that.

    This is an issue for the sort of fundamentalists who insist that absolutely everything in the bible is useful for modern times. You say that, but then what’s this goat milk thing about? How about all the idolatry prohibitions when many modern Christians won’t regularly encounter religions that use idols? Why is there a whole book devoted to Solomon’s horny poetry?

    You can kinda come up with answers to those, but they will invariably involve some kind of “reading between the lines”. That is, reading assumptions into the text that aren’t explicitly stated. Which fundamentalists also say you’re not supposed to do.

        Not Jewish - but my understandings: Those are ritual laws. Non Jews aren’t bound by them. I don’t think the idea is ever that you “go to hell” for not following those rules in Judaism.

        It’s more that you have a covenant with God, where you have agreed to follow a set of rules. The rules themselves are less important than the fact that you have an agreement about this with the higher power - that you keep yourself pure and honor that power through these rules. I think in the historical context a lot of the purity rules are a way of distinguishing your group from others - creating a shared culture around those rules.

        Butter is just milk with extra steps. There are quite a few things you can cook with milk (or specifically creams) that you would typically use butter for that you wouldn’t think. Steak is a good example.

        Of course it’s not a 1:1 replacement, but that is kind of the point. The question is: How of you prefer your milk fats to taste when cooked? (If you are cooking a steak, are you after a specific butter flavor or a deeper cooked dairy flavor?)

    This comes due to the conceptual meaning of the mother’s milk as something that god made for nurture of the calf

    Doing this would be extremely cruel and hate against the intended purpose

    The principle was to instill a sense of profound abhorrence against cruel and unnatural acts as guidance towards perfection demanded of them to be able to be god’s chosen people.

    Jesus managed to completely fulfill the spirit of the law. Since that moment it was abolished for a new law.

    Animals were only a part of it and thinking more about it, the Law contained a number of similar injunctions against cruelty to animals and safeguards against working contrary to the natural order of things.

    For instance, the also Law included commands that prohibited sacrificing an animal unless it had been with its mother for at least seven days, slaughtering both an animal and its offspring on the same day, and taking from a nest both a mother and her eggs or offspring
