DEUT671 It was taught: Rebbi says: It is revealed and known to Him who spoke and caused the world to come into being that the unclean beasts outnumber the clean ones -- for which reason Scripture enumerates the clean ones. And it is revealed and known to Him who spoke and caused the world to come into being that the clean birds outnumber the unclean ones -- for which reason Scripture enumerates the unclean ones. This teaches us that one should always take the shortest way in teaching his student (Chullin 63b)

DEUT678 (Continued from [[DEUT1111]] Deuteronomy 22:3 indifferent LEHRMAN 67) Wherever we look at Jewish law, we see that ethics and religion are indissolubly linked. Take the command in [this verse]: "You shall not eat anything that died of itself (nevelah); for thou art a people holy unto the Lord." The characteristic Midrashic comment (Sifre Deut., §104 (95a) is: ["Sanctify yourself even in that which is permitted to you: things permitted to you but forbidden to others, do not regard as permissible in their presence"]. In which other Codes will we find such tender consideration for the feelings of others? And all this in the midst of an Halachah or Nevelah! (Continued at [[DEUT1332]] Deuteronomy 24:4 may not LEHRMAN 67)
