Chapter 1: The General Laws-Cooking, Eating & Benefiting
The meat and milk mixtures that contain a Basar Bechalav prohibition
Introduction: The prohibition against meat and milk is unique in that it carries a three-part prohibition. It is forbidden to be cooked together, eaten together, or benefited from once cooked together. Although the above three prohibitions apply by all mixtures of meat and milk which are Biblically forbidden to be eaten, they do not all apply when the mixture is only Rabbinically forbidden to be eaten. It is thus imperative to know which mixtures are only Rabbinically forbidden, and which contain a Biblical prohibition. We will first discuss the difference in laws between the Biblical and Rabbinical prohibitions, and then proceed with explaining which mixtures are defined as being Biblically forbidden and which as Rabbinical.
The three Torah verses discussing Basar Bechalav
1. שמות-משפטים כ”ג, י”ט: “לא תזבח על חמץ דם זבחי ולא ילין חלב חגי עד בקר. ראשית בכורי אדמתך תביא בית ה’ אלוקיך לא תבשל גדי בחלב אמו“.
2. שמות-כי תישא ל”ד, כ”ו: “לא תשחט על חמץ דם זבחי, ולא ילין לבקר זבח חג הפסח… ראשית בכורי אדמתך תביא בית ה’ אלוקיך לא תבשל גדי בחלב אמו“.
3. דברים-ראה י”ד, כ”א: “לא תאכלו כל נבילה, לגר אשר בשעריך תתננה ואכלה, או מכור לנכרי, כי עם קדוש אתה לה’ אלוקיך. לא תבשל גדי בחלב אמו“.
