Talk:Milk and meat

| Exodus 22:29-30 The word delay is from אָחַר ‘achar[1] but appears as with an additional Tav as תְאַחֵ֑ר ṯəaḥêr which we also see in Moses' Deuteronomy 23:21 which is about being slack in giving what you should give to the LORD rather than a time limit. |
| If these sacrifices are funding a national social safety net through freewill offerings then at 8 days there will be little value to the needy and only benefit to you because you may be able to take the milk from the mother who is no longer sucking its young. |
| If we look at Leviticus 22:27 we may dedicate the ownership anytime after the eighth day some thing may be sacrificed to the LORD. These verses may help provide an understanding of the intent of Exodus 23:19, Exodus 34:26, and Deuteronomy 14:21. |
