ומלק. אין לו אח במקרא ומשפט המליקה מדברי הקבלה: PINCH. The word malak (pinch) has no brother in Scripture.86The word is not found again in Scripture. We know the laws of “pinching” from our tradition.87The kohen “cuts with his nail against the nape of the neck of the fowl and cuts its neck until he reaches the organs and severs them” (Rashi). Also see Zevachim 65a; Chulin 21b.
