Laws of Hybrids – כלאיים
Exegetical Approaches
Preserving Natural Law
The laws of hybrids remind mankind of Hashem's creation "each according to his species", and prohibit man from acting against Natural Law as set by Hashem..
Sources:Philo #1, Rashbam, Ibn Ezra, R. Yosef Bekhor Shor, Chizkuni, Ramban, R. Bachya, Tur, R. Yosef ibn Kaspi, Ralbag, R. Avraham Saba, Maharal, R. S.R. Hirsch, R. David Zvi Hoffmann
Distancing from Idolatry
The prohibitions were instituted as a reaction to idolatrous customs, in an effort to keep the nation from imitating them.
