מנין לכהן טמא שאכל תרומה טמאה שאינו במיתה שנאמר (ויקרא כב, ט) ומתו בו כי יחללוהו פרט לזו שמחוללת ועומדת
yet we give six interpretations to it! - Samuel holds the view that a prohibition can be superimposed upon an existing prohibition, so that the application of the prohibition [of 'flesh in milk'] to forbidden fat and also to that which died of itself is derived from one verse;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., from that verse which is required for the general statement of the law. See, however, Rashi who emends the text by omitting 'Samuel is of the view . . existing prohibition'; for, according to Rashi, Samuel's view as stated is the result of the interpretation here, and not the cause and reason of this interpretation.');"><sup>13</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
And they, may their memory be blessed, said (Temurah 33a) that the ashes of meat [that was cooked together] with milk is prohibited; like the ashes of all things that are prohibited to benefit from, which require burial. And they also said (Chullin 111b) that the Torah only prohibited meat with milk, regarding the milk of a living beast. But with the milk of a dead [one], it is not prohibited . And therefore the udder is permitted [to be eaten] with its milk, according to Torah writ. However the sages forbade it as a fence, until one removes its milk from it, as is elucidated in its place (Chullin 109b). And there are two dispensations for milk that is found in the stomach [of an animal]: one, that it is included in [the category of] the milk of a dead [one]; and also since it is only like refuse more generally - as it has already been digested there. And therefore it is permissible from the outset. And it is not necessary to say that that which is found coagulated there is permissible - as it is certainly like refuse - but even that which is liquid was permitted by the Geonim. One who cooks an embryo in milk is liable, and so [too,] one who eats it. But one who cooks a placenta or skin or tendons or bones or the roots of the horns or hoof nails is exempted. [These] and the rest of the commandment's details are elucidated in the eighth chapter of Chullin.
