DEUT1166 (Continued from [[GEN1181]] Genesis 24:19 camels SACTAB 217). Our ancestors relied heavily on animals in their agricultural pursuits, and so the Torah provides clear guidance in the treatment of work animals. One such law (this verse) teaches that if these two animals were yoked together, one may be injured by the other. Another law asserts the right of an animal to be nourished as it works (Deuteronomy 25:4). This prohibition acknowledges that one must not prevent an animal who is threshing the field to follow its basic instinct to eat along the way.
