כָּל הַבָּשָׂר אָסוּר לְבַשֵּׁל בְּחָלָב, חוּץ מִבְּשַׂר דָּגִים וַחֲגָבִים. וְאָסוּר לְהַעֲלוֹתוֹ עִם הַגְּבִינָה עַל הַשֻּׁלְחָן, חוּץ מִבְּשַׂר דָּגִים וַחֲגָבִים. הַנּוֹדֵר מִן הַבָּשָׂר, מֻתָּר בִּבְשַׂר דָּגִים וַחֲגָבִים. הָעוֹף עוֹלֶה עִם הַגְּבִינָה עַל הַשֻּׁלְחָן וְאֵינוֹ נֶאֱכָל, דִּבְרֵי בֵית שַׁמַּאי. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, לֹא עוֹלֶה וְלֹא נֶאֱכָל. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, זוֹ מִקֻּלֵּי בֵית שַׁמַּאי וּמֵחֻמְרֵי בֵית הִלֵּל. בְּאֵיזֶה שֻׁלְחָן אָמְרוּ, בַּשֻּׁלְחָן שֶׁאוֹכֵל עָלָיו. אֲבָל בַּשֻּׁלְחָן שֶׁסּוֹדֵר עָלָיו אֶת הַתַּבְשִׁיל, נוֹתֵן זֶה בְצַד זֶה וְאֵינוֹ חוֹשֵׁשׁ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
It is **prohibited to cook any meat** of domesticated and undomesticated animals and birds **in milk, except for the meat of fish and grasshoppers,** whose halakhic status is not that of meat. **And** likewise, the Sages issued a decree that it is **prohibited to place** any meat together **with** milk products, e.g., **cheese, on** one **table.** The reason for this prohibition is that one might come to eat them after they absorb substances from each other. This prohibition applies to all types of meat, **except for the meat of fish and grasshoppers.** And **one who takes a vow** that **meat** is prohibited to him is **permitted to** eat **the meat of fish and grasshoppers.** **The** meat of **birds may be placed with cheese on** one **table but** may **not be eaten** together with it; this is **the statement of Beit Shammai. And Beit Hillel say:** It may **neither be placed** on one table **nor be eaten** with cheese. **Rabbi Yosei said: This is** one **of the** disputes involving **leniencies of Beit Shammai and stringencies of Beit Hillel.** The mishna elaborates: **With regard to which table** are these *halakhot* **stated?** It is **with regard to a table upon which one eats. But on a table upon which one prepares the cooked food, one** may **place this** meat **alongside that** cheese or vice versa, **and** need **not be concerned** that perhaps they will be mixed and one will come to eat them together.

צוֹרֵר אָדָם בָּשָׂר וּגְבִינָה בְּמִטְפַּחַת אַחַת, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יְהוּ נוֹגְעִין זֶה בָזֶה. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, שְׁנֵי אַכְסְנָאִין אוֹכְלִין עַל שֻׁלְחָן אֶחָד, זֶה בָּשָׂר וָזֶה גְּבִינָה, וְאֵין חוֹשְׁשִׁין:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**A person may bind meat and cheese in one cloth, provided that they do not come into contact with each other. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: Two** unacquainted **guests [*akhsena’in*] may eat** together **on one table, this** one eating **meat and that** one eating **cheese, and they** need **not be concerned** lest they come to violate the prohibition of eating meat and milk by partaking of the food of the other.

טִפַּת חָלָב שֶׁנָּפְלָה עַל הַחֲתִיכָה, אִם יֶשׁ בָּהּ בְּנוֹתֵן טַעַם בְּאוֹתָהּ חֲתִיכָה, אָסוּר. נִעֵר אֶת הַקְּדֵרָה, אִם יֶשׁ בָּהּ בְּנוֹתֵן טַעַם בְּאוֹתָהּ קְדֵרָה, אָסוּר. הַכְּחָל, קוֹרְעוֹ וּמוֹצִיא אֶת חֲלָבוֹ. לֹא קְרָעוֹ, אֵינוֹ עוֹבֵר עָלָיו. הַלֵּב, קוֹרְעוֹ וּמוֹצִיא אֶת דָּמוֹ. לֹא קְרָעוֹ, אֵינוֹ עוֹבֵר עָלָיו. הַמַּעֲלֶה אֶת הָעוֹף עִם הַגְּבִינָה עַל הַשֻּׁלְחָן, אֵינוֹ עוֹבֵר בְּלֹא תַעֲשֶׂה:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
In the case of **a drop of milk that fell on a piece** of meat, **if** the drop **contains** enough milk **to impart flavor to that piece** of meat, i.e., the meat is less than sixty times the size of the drop, the meat is **forbidden.** If **one stirred** the contents of **the pot** and the piece was submerged in the gravy before it absorbed the milk, **if** the drop **contains** enough milk **to impart flavor to** the contents of **that** entire **pot,** the contents of the entire pot are **forbidden.** One who wants to eat **the udder** of a slaughtered animal **tears it and removes its milk,** and only then is it permitted to cook it. If **he did not tear** the udder before cooking it, **he does not violate** the prohibition against cooking and eating meat and milk and does not receive lashes **for it,** as the halakhic status of the milk in the udder is not that of milk. One who wants to eat **the heart** of a slaughtered animal **tears it and removes its blood,** and only then may he cook and eat it. If **he did not tear** the heart before cooking and eating it, **he does not violate** the prohibition against consuming blood and is not liable to receive *karet* **for it.** **One who places** the meat of **birds with cheese on the table** upon which he eats **does not** thereby **violate** a Torah **prohibition.**

בְּשַׂר בְּהֵמָה טְהוֹרָה בַּחֲלֵב בְּהֵמָה טְהוֹרָה, אָסוּר לְבַשֵּׁל וְאָסוּר בַּהֲנָאָה. בְּשַׂר בְּהֵמָה טְהוֹרָה בַּחֲלֵב בְּהֵמָה טְמֵאָה, בְּשַׂר בְּהֵמָה טְמֵאָה בַּחֲלֵב בְּהֵמָה טְהוֹרָה, מֻתָּר לְבַשֵּׁל וּמֻתָּר בַּהֲנָאָה. רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, חַיָּה וָעוֹף אֵינָם מִן הַתּוֹרָה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר, לֹא תְבַשֵּׁל גְּדִי בַּחֲלֵב אִמּוֹ, שָׁלשׁ פְּעָמִים, פְּרָט לְחַיָּה וּלְעוֹף וְלִבְהֵמָה טְמֵאָה. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי הַגְּלִילִי אוֹמֵר, נֶאֱמַר (דברים יד), לֹא תֹאכְלוּ כָל נְבֵלָה, וְנֶאֱמַר (שם), לֹא תְבַשֵּׁל גְּדִי בַּחֲלֵב אִמּוֹ. אֶת שֶׁאָסוּר מִשּׁוּם נְבֵלָה, אָסוּר לְבַשֵּׁל בְּחָלָב. עוֹף, שֶׁאָסוּר מִשּׁוּם נְבֵלָה, יָכוֹל יְהֵא אָסוּר לְבַשֵּׁל בְּחָלָב, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר בַּחֲלֵב אִמּוֹ, יָצָא עוֹף, שֶׁאֵין לוֹ חֲלֵב אֵם:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
It is **prohibited to cook the meat of a kosher animal in the milk of** any **kosher animal,** not merely the milk of its mother, **and** deriving **benefit** from that mixture is **prohibited.** It is **permitted to cook the meat of a kosher animal in the milk of a non-kosher animal,** or **the meat of a non-kosher animal in the milk of a kosher animal, and** deriving **benefit** from that mixture is **permitted. Rabbi Akiva says:** Cooking the meat of **an undomesticated animal or bird** in milk is **not** prohibited **by Torah law, as it is stated: “You shall not cook a kid in its mother’s milk”** (Exodus 23:19, 34:26; Deuteronomy 14:21) **three times.** The repetition of the word “kid” three times **excludes an undomesticated animal, a bird, and a non-kosher animal.** **Rabbi Yosei HaGelili says** that **it is stated: “You shall not eat of any animal carcass”** (Deuteronomy 14:21), **and** in the same verse **it is stated: “You shall not cook a kid in its mother’s milk.”** This indicates that meat of an animal **that** is subject to be **prohibited due to** the prohibition of eating **an unslaughtered carcass** is **prohibited** for one **to cook in milk.** Consequently, with regard to meat of **birds, which** is subject to be **prohibited due to** the prohibition of eating **an unslaughtered carcass,** one **might** have thought that it **would be prohibited to cook** it **in milk.** Therefore, **the verse states: “In its mother’s milk,” excluding a bird, which has no mother’s milk.**

[Mishnah Chullin 8:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Mishnah%20Chullin/r/8:5)

קֵבַת נָכְרִי וְשֶׁל נְבֵלָה, הֲרֵי זוֹ אֲסוּרָה. הַמַּעֲמִיד בְּעוֹר שֶׁל קֵבָה כְשֵׁרָה, אִם יֵשׁ בְּנוֹתֵן טַעַם, הֲרֵי זוֹ אֲסוּרָה. כְּשֵׁרָה שֶׁיָּנְקָה מִן הַטְּרֵפָה, קֵבָתָהּ אֲסוּרָה. טְרֵפָה שֶׁיָּנְקָה מִן הַכְּשֵׁרָה, קֵבָתָהּ מֻתֶּרֶת, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁכָּנוּס בְּמֵעֶיהָ:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The congealed milk in **the stomach** of the animal **of a gentile and of an** unslaughtered **animal carcass is prohibited.** With regard to **one who curdled milk by** using **the skin of the stomach of a kosher** animal as a coagulant to make cheese, which may then have the taste of meat cooked in milk, **if** the measure of the skin is enough **to impart flavor** to the milk, **that** cheese **is prohibited.** In the case of **a kosher** animal **that suckled** milk **from a *tereifa*,** the milk in **its stomach is prohibited,** as the milk is from the *tereifa*. If it was **a *tereifa* that suckled** milk **from a kosher** animal, the milk in **its stomach is permitted,** as the milk is from the kosher animal. In both cases, the milk that an animal suckles has the status of the animal from which it was suckled, and not that of the animal which suckled, **because** the milk **is collected in its innards** and is not an integral part of its body.

חֹמֶר בַּחֵלֶב מִבַּדָּם, וְחֹמֶר בַּדָּם מִבַּחֵלֶב. חֹמֶר בַּחֵלֶב, שֶׁהַחֵלֶב מוֹעֲלִין בּוֹ, וְחַיָּבִין עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם פִּגּוּל וְנוֹתָר וְטָמֵא, מַה שֶּׁאֵין כֵּן בַּדָּם. וְחֹמֶר בַּדָּם, שֶׁהַדָּם נוֹהֵג בִּבְהֵמָה וְחַיָּה וָעוֹף, בֵּין טְמֵאִים וּבֵין טְהוֹרִים, וְחֵלֶב אֵינוֹ נוֹהֵג אֶלָּא בִּבְהֵמָה טְהוֹרָה בִלְבָד:

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Although animal fats and blood are similar in that they are both prohibited by Torah law and punishable by *karet*, there are elements more **stringent in** the prohibition of **fat than in** that of **blood, and** likewise there are elements more **stringent in** the prohibition of **blood than in** that of **fat.** The elements more **stringent in** the prohibition of **fat are** the following: The first is **that** with regard to **fat** of an offering, one who derives benefit **from it** is liable for **misuse** of consecrated property. **And** second, one is **liable for** eating **it due to** violation of the prohibition of ***piggul*,** if it was from an offering that was slaughtered with the intent to sprinkle its blood or partake of it beyond its designated time, **and** due to the prohibition of ***notar*,** if it was from an offering whose period for consumption has expired. **And** third, if one is ritually impure, he is liable due to the prohibition of partaking of it while **impure. This is not so with regard to blood,** as one is not liable in these cases for violating the prohibitions of *piggul*, *notar*, and partaking of offerings while impure, but rather is liable only for violating the prohibition of consuming blood. **And** the more **stringent** element **in** the prohibition of **blood** is **that** the prohibition of **blood applies to domesticated animals, undomesticated animals, and birds, both kosher and non-kosher, but** the prohibition of forbidden **fat applies only to a kosher domesticated animal.**
