* Thou shalt not seethe a kid.
The true sense of this passage seems to be that assigned by
Dr. Cudworth, from a MS. comment of a Kara(8b74)e Jew. "It was a
custom with the ancient heathens, when they had gathered in
all their fruits, to take a kid, and boil it in the dam's
milk; and then in a magical way, to go about and sprinkle all
their trees, and fields, and gardens, and orchards with it,
thinking by these means, that they should make them fruitful,
and bring forth more abundantly in the following year.
Wherefore, God forbad his people, the Jews, at the time of
their in-gathering, to use any such superstitious or
idolatrous rite."
