I stand corrected.<BR/>the implication of the two are still not the same, though, but rather one describes an action, while this describes a noun - the equivalent of the more common (that is, except for this one instance) sheketz.<BR/><BR/>and there are other obvious distinctions between the acts described and this one instance of the noun toeva which people consume - in the latter instances, death penalty is explicity written, while here there is ritual impurity written regarding them, such that the question "Why don't these modern day Pinchas's run out to the nearest non-kosher restaurant and start killing people eating BLTs" is just silly.joshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958375916391742462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-1153003038856075282006-07-15T18:37:00.000-04:002006-07-15T18:37:00.000-04:00Eating non-Kosher food IS called a toevah: see Dev...Eating non-Kosher food IS called a toevah: see Devarim 14:3--"lo tochal kol toevah," do not eat any abomination, and the Torah then proceeds to describe the difference between kosher and non-kosher animals.<BR/><BR/>Reb BarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-1152891716040140002006-07-14T11:41:00.000-04:002006-07-14T11:41:00.000-04:00not really directed at you - more directed at othe...not really directed at you - more directed at others, who cite things which often don't say what they think it means - but since I had opportunity to cite the actual text, I used at as a change to issue my general encouragement.<BR/>not for this particular midrash, but there are some nice sources for cutting and pasting out there - mechon-mamre, snunit, etc. I don't know of an online source with the midrash in question (except of course for that website with the excerpt I found)<BR/>Kol Tuv.<BR/><BR/>AlanLaz:<BR/>Thanks, I'll check it out as well.

Sometimes I will translate the text under discussion. typing in Hebrew is very slow for me, so I am reluctant to actually quote the actual text. is there a good source I can easily copy/past from in the future?Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.com
