Thou shalt not seethe a kid4 parallels

The true sense of this passage seems to be that assigned by Dr. Cudworth , from a manuscript comment of a Karaite Jew. "It was a custom with the ancient heathens , when they had gathered in all their fruits , to take a kid , and boil it in the dam's milk; and then in a magical way , to go about and sprinkle all their trees , and fields , and gardens , and orchards with it , thinking by these means , that they should make them fruitful , and bring forth more abundantly in the following year. Wherefore , God forbad his people , the Jews , at the time of their in-gathering , to use any such superstitious or idolatrous rite."
