SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:19

Las primicias de los primeros frutos de tu tierra traerás a la Casa del SEÑOR tu Dios. No guisarás el cabrito con la leche de su madre.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 23:19

Verse 19. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.] This passage has greatly
perplexed commentators; but Dr. Cudworth is supposed to have given it its true meaning by quoting a MS. comment of a Karaite Jew, which he met with, on this passage. "It was a custom of the ancient heathens, when they had gathered in all their fruits, to take a kid and boil it in the milk of its dam; and then, in a magical way, to go about and besprinkle with it all their trees and fields, gardens and orchards; thinking by these means to make them fruitful, that they might bring forth more abundantly in the following year."-Cudworth on the Lord's Supper, 4to.

I give this comment as I find it, and add that Spenser has shown that the Zabii used this kind of magical milk to sprinkle their trees and fields, in order to make them fruitful. Others understand it of eating flesh and milk together; others of a lamb or a kid while it is sucking its mother, and that the paschal lamb is here intended, which it was not lawful to offer while sucking.

After all the learned labour which critics have bestowed on this passage, and by which the obscurity in some cases is become more intense, the simple object of the precept seems to be this: "Thou shalt do nothing that may have any tendency to blunt thy moral feelings, or teach thee hardness of heart." Even human nature shudders at the thought of causing the mother to lend her milk to seethe the flesh of her young one! We need go no farther for the delicate, tender, humane, and impressive meaning of this precept.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-19 - Every seventh year the land was to rest. They must not plough or so it; what the earth produced of itself, should be eaten, and not lai up. This law seems to have been intended to teach dependence of Providence, and God's faithfulness in sending the larger increase whil they kept his appointments. It was also typical of the heavenly rest when all earthly labours, cares, and interests shall cease for ever All respect to the gods of the heathen is strictly forbidden. Sinc idolatry was a sin to which the Israelites leaned, they must blot ou the remembrance of the gods of the heathen. Solemn religious attendanc on God, in the place which he should choose, is strictly required. The must come together before the Lord. What a good Master do we serve, wh has made it our duty to rejoice before him! Let us devote with pleasur to the service of God that portion of our time which he requires, an count his sabbaths and ordinances to be a feast unto our souls. The were not to come empty-handed; so now, we must not come to worship God empty-hearted; our souls must be filled with holy desires toward him and dedications of ourselves to him; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
