Exegesis
The verse concludes with the parallel prohibition lō-te-vāšēl {לֹא־תְבַשֵּׁל | lō·te·vā·šēl} ‘you shall not boil’ + ḡə·dî {גְּדִי | ḡə·dî} ‘kid’ + ba-ḥă·lēḇ ’immō {בַּחֲלֵב אִמּוֹ | ba·ḥă·lēḇ ’im·mō} ‘in its mother’s milk,’ reinforcing ritual purity and communal identity.
In context — Deuteronomy 14:21
You must not eat any carcass ; you may give it to the sojourner in your gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a people set apart to the LORD your God . You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
