There is something brutish in eating the young of beast or fowl, before the hair and hoofs are perfect in the one, and feathers and claws in the other; and before this period, their flesh is not good for food, consequently they were not fit for sacrifice, which is termed the bread or food of God - Leviticus 22:25. 22:25, 12:2, 12:3, 19:23, 19:24; Exodus 22:30Reciprocal28:38 - accepted; Leviticus 1:4 - be accepted; 9:1 - the eighth day Verse 28eweor, she goatye shall not kill itThis law was certainly intended to inculcate mercy and tenderness of heart; and so the Jews have understood it.
