Abstract

The passage should be understood as "you shall not cook (for eating purposes) a sucking kid". This is not only the meaning of the passage in the Covenant Code (Exod 23:19) and in the so-called "Privilegrecht" (Exod 34:26), but it was the way as well in which this passage was understood by the authors of Deuteronomy (Deut 14:21). Amos 6:4 seems to contain an early reference to the prohibition of the sucking kid.
