Milk And Meat In Jewish Law
Mixtures of milk and meat (Hebrew: בשר בחלב, basar bechalav, literally "meat in milk") are prohibited according to Jewish law. This dietary law, basic to kashrut, is based on a verse in the Book of Exodus, which forbids "boiling a (kid) goat in its mother's milk". The prohibition appears again in Deuteronomy.
According to the Talmud, these almost identical references are the basis for three distinct dietary laws:
- the prohibition against cooking a mixture of milk and meat
- the prohibition against eating a cooked mixture of milk and meat
- the prohibition against deriving any benefit from a cooked mixture of milk and meat.
