## Sifrei Devarim Paragraph 104

###### Sifrei Devarim 104:1
[Sifrei Devarim 104:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/104:1)

(דברים יד כא) **לֹא תֹאכְלוּ כָל נְבֵלָה**, אֵין לִי אֶלָּא נְבֵלָה, טְרֵפָה מִנַּיִן? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״נְבֵלָה״ – ״כָל נְבֵלָה״.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
(Devarim 14:21) "You shall not eat any carcass (*neveilah*)": This tells me only of *neveilah*. Whence do we derive (the same for) *treifah* (lit., a "torn" animal)? From "*any* carcass."


###### Sifrei Devarim 104:2
[Sifrei Devarim 104:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/104:2)

**לַגֵּר אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ** – מְלַמֵּד שֶׁנּוֹתְנָהּ בְּמַתָּנָה לְגֵר תּוֹשָׁב.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"To the *ger* in your gates shall you give it": We are hereby taught that he gives it as a gift to a *ger toshav* (a "resident stranger" — one who has taken it upon himself not to serve idolatry, but who eats carcass.)


###### Sifrei Devarim 104:3

מִנַּיִן אַף לְנָכְרִי? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **לְנָכְרִי**.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
Whence is it derived (that he may give it) also to a gentile? From "to the gentile."


###### Sifrei Devarim 104:4
[Sifrei Devarim 104:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/104:4)

מִנַּיִן שֶׁמּוֹכְרָהּ לְגֵר תּוֹשָׁב? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **אוֹ מָכֹר**.

And whence is it derived that he may sell it to a gentile? From "or sell it to the gentile."


###### Sifrei Devarim 104:5
[Sifrei Devarim 104:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/104:5)

מִנַּיִן אַף לְנָכְרִי? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: **לְנָכְרִי**. כְּשֶׁתִּמְצֵי אוֹמֵר: מוֹכְרָהּ וְנוֹתְנָהּ בְּמַתָּנָה לְנָכְרִי וּלְגֵר תּוֹשָׁב.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
And whence is it derived (that he may sell it) also to the *ger*? From "to the *ger*." In sum: He may sell it or give it as a gift both to a gentile or a *ger toshav*.


###### Sifrei Devarim 104:6
[Sifrei Devarim 104:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/104:6)

רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: דְּבָרִים כִּכְתָבָם.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
R. Yehudah says: The verse is to be taken literally (i.e., to the gentile, by selling, and not as a gift, to the *ger*, as a gift, and not by selling.)


###### Sifrei Devarim 104:7
[Sifrei Devarim 104:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/104:7)

**כִּי עַם קָדוֹשׁ אַתָּה לַה׳ אֱלֹהֶיךָ** – קַדֵּשׁ אֶת עַצְמְךָ. דְּבָרִים הַמּוּתָּרִים וַאֲחֵרִים נָהֲגוּ בָּהֶם אִסּוּר – אִי אַתָּה רַשַּׁי לִנְהֹג הֶתֵּר בִּפְנֵיהֶם.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"for a holy people are you to the L-rd your G-d": Sanctify yourself with what is permitted to you, viz.: That which is permitted and others forbid to themselves (as a special act of piety), you are forbidden to permit to yourselves in their presence.


###### Sifrei Devarim 104:8
[Sifrei Devarim 104:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/104:8)

**לֹא תְבַשֵּׁל גְּדִי בַּחֲלֵב אִמּוֹ** לָמָּה נֶאֱמַר? כְּנֶגֶד שָׁלֹשׁ בְּרִיתוֹת שֶׁכָּרַת הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא עִם יִשְׂרָאֵל שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים: אַחַת בְּחוֹרֵב, וְאַחַת בְּעַרְבוֹת מוֹאָב, וְאַחַת בְּהַר גְּרִזִים וּבְהַר עֵיבָל.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
"You shall not cook a kid in the milk of its mother": Why is this written three times? To exclude (from this prohibition) an animal, a bird, and an unclean beast.


###### Sifrei Devarim 104:9
[Sifrei Devarim 104:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/104:9)

רַבִּי עֲקִיבָה אוֹמֵר: חַיָּה וָעוֹף אֵינָם מִן הַתּוֹרָה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר **לֹא תְבַשֵּׁל גְּדִי בַּחֲלֵב אִמּוֹ** שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים, פְּרָט לְחַיָּה וְעוֹף וּבְהֵמָה טְמֵאָה.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
R. Yossi Haglili says: It is written "You shall not eat any carcass," and "You shall not cook a kid in the milk of its mother." What is forbidden as *neveilah* is forbidden to cook in milk. A bird, which is forbidden as *neveilah*, I might think that it is forbidden to cook it in milk; it is, therefore, written "in its mother's milk" — to exclude a bird, which has no mother's milk.


###### Sifrei Devarim 104:10
[Sifrei Devarim 104:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sifrei%20Devarim/r/104:10)

רַבִּי יוֹסֵי הַגְּלִילִי אוֹמֵר: נֶאֱמַר **לֹא תֹאכְלוּ כָל נְבֵלָה** וְנֶאֱמַר **לֹא תְבַשֵּׁל גְּדִי בַּחֲלֵב אִמּוֹ**, [אֵת 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.

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
Variantly: "You shall not cook a kid in its mother's milk": Why is this written three times? It corresponds to the three covenants that the Holy One Blessed be He made with Israel: one in Chorev, another in Arvoth Moav, and another in Mount Gerizim and Mount Eival.
