- ye shall not kill it:
- This law was certainly intended to inculcate mercy and tenderness of heart; and so the Jews have understood it. "The firstª of the firstfruitsª of thy landª thou shalt bringª° into the houseª of the LORDª thy God.ª Thou shalt not¹ seetheª° a kidª in his mother'sª milk.ª" {Exd 23:19} + "The firstª of the firstfruitsª of thy landª thou shalt bringª° unto the houseª of the LORDª thy God.ª Thou shalt not¹ seetheª° a kidª in his mother'sª milk.ª" {Exd 34:26} + "Ye shall not¹ eatª° [of] any¹ thing that dieth of itself:ª thou shalt giveª° it unto the strangerª that¹ [is] in thy gates,ª that he may eatª° it; or¹ thou mayest sellª° it unto an alien:ª for¹ thou¹ [art] an holyª peopleª unto the LORDª thy God.ª Thou shalt not¹ seetheª° a kidª in his mother'sª milk.ª" {Deu 14:21} + "If¹ a bird'sª nestª chance²° to be¹ beforeª thee in the wayª in any¹ tree,ª or¹ on¹ the ground,ª [whether they be] young ones,ª or¹ eggs,ª and the damª sittingª° upon¹ the young,ª or¹ upon¹ the eggs,ª thou shalt not¹ takeª° the damª with¹ the young:ª ... [But] thou shalt in any wiseª°¹ let the damª go,ª° and takeª° the youngª to thee; that¹ it may be wellª° with thee, and [that] thou mayest prolongª° [thy] days.ª" {Deu 22:6-7}
