In Judaism, there is a longstanding practice of waiting between consuming milk and meat products. This principle of separation, known as "mar ukva," represents a fundamental aspect of Jewish dietary laws. It signifies the distinction between life (milk) and death (meat) and carries significant spiritual and symbolic meaning.
Three times, at Exodus 23:19, Exodus 34:26, and Deuteronomy 14:21, Scripture ordains that one may not eat the flesh of a kid that has been cooked in its own mother's milk.
