English: Since the verse specifies “a kid of the goats,” learn from here that here it means kids of goats; but wherever “g’di” is stated without specification, even a cow or a ewe is included.
On the daf / in context: Torah Temimah points to the implication for basar be-chalav: the unspecified “g’di” of “do not cook a kid in its mother’s milk” is not limited to goats.
Type of Learning
R’ Eliezer #1 — Ribbui / specification: when the Torah sometimes says “g’di of goats” and sometimes “g’di” alone, the bare term is inclusive.
What Is Learned
“G’di” without qualification includes other species; the law of meat-and-milk is not limited to goat meat.
