הלכה אויף בראשית 9:4

Glied von Lebendigem, Fetus
Es ist durch die Tradition mitgeteilt worden, dass die Worte der Schrift: »Du sollst nicht die Seele mit dem Fleische aufessen« (Deut. 22:23) darauf hindeuten, ein von einem lebendigen Tiere weggeschnittenes Glied zu verbieten. Das Glied vom Lebendigen ist aber bereits Noach untersagt worden: »Doch Fleisch mit der Seele im Blute (also eines noch lebenden Tieres) sollt ihr nicht essen«. Das Verbot des Gliedes vom Lebendigen erstreckt sich auf Hausvieh, Wild und Geflügel, jedoch bloß von den reinen Gattungen, nicht aber auf das von den unreinen.

Adam, the first man, was commanded with six commandments: 1) idolatry, 2) “blessing” (euphemistically) the Name (of G-d), 3) murder, 4) illicit sexual relations, 5) thievery and, 6) establishing a system of justice. Even though all of these have been received as a Tradition from Moses our Teacher and we can understand the rationale for them, nevertheless, from (verses in) the Torah (we learn that) it was these that they were commanded. A seventh commandment forbidding the eating of a limb torn from a live animal was added for Noah, as it says, “Even flesh, life is in the blood, do not eat of it” (Genesis 9:4). These commandments were universally applicable - until Abraham. With Abraham, circumcision was also commanded and he prayed Shacharis (the Morning Prayer). Isaac separated out a tithe and added another prayer in the afternoon and, with Jacob, the prohibition against eating the sciatic nerve was added, as was the Maariv (Evening) Prayer. In Egypt, Amram was commanded with other precepts⁸²I do not know which. and, with Moses our Teacher, the Torah was completed.

To not eat a limb from the living: That we were prevented that we not eat a limb from the living — meaning to say, a limb that we cut from an animal when it is still alive. And about this is it stated (Deuteronomy 12:23), “and you shall not eat the soul with the meat.” And so they did they say, “‘And you shall not eat the soul with the meat’ — that is a limb from the living.” And we say in Tractate Chullin 102b, “One who ate a limb from the living and meat from the living is lashed twice” — since there are two negative commandments about it: the one which we mentioned; and the second [is] “and flesh torn in the field shall you not eat” (Exodus 22:30), which is a negative commandment about the one that eats meat from the living, as I have written in the commandment not to eat a “torn” animal (Sefer HaChinukh 73). And the warning for the limb from the living was repeated in another place in Parashat Noach, as it is stated (Genesis 9:4), “But meat with the soul, its blood, you shall not eat.”
