Not to eat flesh with milk

Maimonides

Not to eat flesh with milk, as it is said, a second time, “Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother’s milk” (Ex. 34:26). It is learnt by tradition that one of these texts (Ex. 23:19) refers to the prohibition of boiling, the other (Ex. 34:26), to the prohibition of eating.
