Endnote 17 – “You Shall Not Boil a Kid in Its Mother’s Milk”

See, e.g., Isaiah 11:6. Had only the male been intended, the text would have used gediÆ zaµkaµr, a “male kid” (compare seh zaµkaµr, a “male sheep,” Exodus 12:3), or zaµkaµr baµ‚izziÆm, “male of the goats” (compare zaµkaµr babbaµqaµr, “male of the herd,” Leviticus 22:19).
