The Sharia of Moses in the TORA
Part 2 - The 365 Prohibitions of the Tora

113 - DOING ANY WORK WITH A DEDICATED BEAST

Deuteronomy 15:19 -- “All the firstborn males that come from your herd and your flock you shall sanctify to the LORD your God; you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.”

According to the Torah, Neg. Comm. 113- 114 apply only to beasts dedicated for sacrifice, which are holy things of the Altar. The sages extended the scope of these prohibitions to cover beasts which belong to the Temple treasury; but in this case the penalty of whipping is not incurred for their violation.*
