Comentário sobre I Reis 5:13

He spoke of trees. Which medical remedy is derived from each [tree], and that a particular tree is best suited for that type of building or to be planted in a particular field. And similarly regarding to animals, what is its cure and the vital elements needed for its development and its food. The Midrash Aggadah [expounds]: Why did God see [fit] that a leper becomes ritually clean with the tallest of the tall [trees]⁹I.e., cedar tree. and the lowest of the low [trees]?¹⁰I.e., hyssop tree. “And of the animals and the fowl,” why did God see fit that this one¹¹Fowl. should become permissible through Shechitah, by severing one organ,¹²The trachea or the esophagus. and this one,¹³E.g., cattle, etc. by [severing] both [organs],¹⁴The trachea and the esophagus. and fish and grasshoppers without anything [i.e., slaughtering].
