Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 14:4

These are the beasts which ye shall eat - On Leviticus 11. I have entered into considerable detail relative to the clean and unclean animals there mentioned. For the general subject, the reader is referred to the notes on that chapter; but as there are particulars mentioned here which Moses does not introduce in Leviticus, it will be necessary to consider them in this place. The ox - שור shor : Bos, fifth order Pecora, of the genus Mammalia, species 41. This term includes all clean... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 14:5

The hart - איל aiyal , the deer, according to Dr. Shaw: see the note on Deuteronomy 12:15 . The roebuck - צבי tsebi , generally supposed to be the antelope, belonging to the fifth order Pecora, genus Mammalia, and species 38. It has round twisted spiral horns, hairy tufts on the knees, browses on tender shoots, lives in hilly countries, is fond of climbing rocks, and is remarkable for its beautiful black eyes. The flesh is good and well flavoured. The fallow deer - יחמור ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 14:13

The vulture after his kind - The word דאה daah is improperly translated vulture Leviticus 11:14 , and means a kite or glede. The word דיה daiyah in this verse is not only different from that in Leviticus, but means also a different animal, properly enough translated vulture. See the note on Leviticus 11:14 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:1-3

Self-respect in mourning. Mourning customs have significance, as testifying to the ideas of God, of human worth, and of immortality, held by those who practice them. Those here forbidden were degrading in their own nature, and embodied the false idea that God is pleased with the self-inflicted miseries of his creatures. They are condemned— I. AS DISHONORING TO THE CREATOR . God, the Creator of the body, cannot take delight in seeing it abused. This proposition seems... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:1-21

EXPOSITION HEATHEN CUSTOMS OF MOURNING TO BE AVOIDED . NO ABOMINABLE THING TO BE EATEN . MEATS CLEAN AND UNCLEAN . TITHES . Israel, as the people of God, chosen by him to be his children by adoption, must not only abstain from idolatry, but also avoid all heathenish usages and practices, such as those connected with mourning for the dead, and those pertaining to the use of food. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:3

Any abominable thing. Any abomination, i . e . anything which is an abomination to the Lord, having been by him pronounced unclean and forbidden; "anything which I have put far away from you ( i.e. made to be abominable to you)" (Targum Jonath.). "Every creature of God is good," and "there is nothing unclean of itself" ( 1 Timothy 4:4 ; Romans 14:14 ); "but by the ordinance of God, certain creatures, meats, and drinks were made unclean to the Jews … and this taught them holiness... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:3-11

A holy people will eat sanctified things. The regulation of the diet of the children of Israel was most important in view of their remaining a "peculiar people" unto God. In no way half so effectual could they, as a nation, be kept distinct from other nations, with whom it was undesirable on religious grounds that they should associate. By interdicting some of the animals used by surrounding and heathen nations, the Lord, as far as possible, prevented Israel's association with them. To... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:3-20

The people of God at their own table. However far these minute regulations may seem at first from being appropriate themes for homiletic teaching, a closer study of them may show that they contain an amount of instruction which we could ill afford to lose. There are two principles, not infrequently noted, that should be brought to bear on this and other chapters which contain regulations that may be entirely unneeded now. One is, that associations of evil may make a custom prejudicial... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:3-21

Clean and unclean. The distinction of clean and unclean appears to have rested— I. ON NATURAL GROUNDS . It is based to some extent on natural preferences and repugnances—an index, often, to deeper correlations. We instinctively recognize certain creatures to be unfit for food. The Law of Moses drew the line practically where men's unguided instincts have always drawn it. A lesson of respect for natural order . In diet, as in higher matters, we do well to follow Nature's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:3-21

Discrimination in meats. The prohibition of some kinds of food proceeds upon the principle that it is not wise to gratify every appetite. There must be denial somewhere. If every desire and lust of the body be indulged, injury will ensue to the nobler capacities of the soul. Pruning of the wild growths of carnal desire is essential to real fruitfulness. Divine restraints are acts of genuine kindness. Discrimination in animal food was based on true wisdom. I. BECAUSE IT WAS A ... read more
