If one takes the dam with the young, R. Judah says he is flogged and need not [then] send the dam free; but the Sages say that he lets the dam go and receives no flogging. This is the general principle; whenever a negative precept involves the fulfilment of some positive act, there is no flogging for its contravention. |
מכות 3.4 |
If a man makes a baldness on his head, or rounds the corner of his head,
or Mars the corner of his beard, or makes one cutting [in his flesh] for
the dead, he is liable [to a flogging]. If he makes one cutting for five
dead, or five cuttings for one, he is liable [severally] for each one. |
