신명기 14:21 KRV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 14:21

Deuteronomy 14:21. Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself The blood being in it, rendered it unlawful to be eaten. Proselytes of the gate, not being obliged to observe these laws, or mere Gentiles, who might happen to be in their country, might eat such meat. But those who were termed proselytes of righteousness, that is, circumcised Gentiles, who had embraced the Jewish religion, were bound to abstain from such food as much as the native Jews. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:1-21

Cleanness and uncleanness (14:1-21)God’s people were not to follow the superstitious practices of the heathen (14:1-2; see notes on Leviticus 19:26-28). They were to be ‘holy to the Lord’, which meant they had to be careful concerning even the food they ate (3-20; see notes on Leviticus 11:1-23). An animal that died of itself probably contained blood and therefore Israelites were not allowed to eat it; but non-Israelites, to whom blood did not have the same ritual significance, were allowed.... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 14:1-21

Ver. 1-21. God, having chosen Israel for his own, separated them from the nations, adopted them as his children, and designed them for his glory, has a right to expect from them that they should answer these purposes of his grace, and approve themselves a holy people before him. And this must appear, 1. In their mournings, when all inordinate sorrow must be avoided; and every superstitious practice which the Gentiles used must be abhorred. Note; (1.) We are not forbidden to mourn for the dead;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 14:21

Ver. 21. Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself— To this discourse about food it was proper to add a caution, that though they might kill and eat any clean creature, yet, if it died of itself, it was unlawful to eat it, because the blood was in it. Proselytes of the gate, who were not obliged to observe these laws, or mere Gentiles who might happen to be in their country, might eat such food; but as to those who were called proselytes of righteousness, i.e. circumcised Gentiles, who... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 14:21

21. Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself—(See on :-; :-). thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates—not a proselyte, for he, as well as an Israelite, was subject to this law; but a heathen traveller or sojourner. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk—This is the third place in which the prohibition is repeated [Exodus 23:19; Exodus 34:26]. It was pointed against an annual pagan ceremony (see on Exodus 34:26- :; Exodus 34:26). [Exodus 34:26- :. LAW OF... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 14:1-21

3. Laws arising from the third commandment 14:1-21The third commandment is, "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain" (Deuteronomy 5:11). This section of laws deals with the exclusiveness of the Lord and His worship as this pertains to Israel’s separation from all other nations. The theme of refraining from Canaanite practices continues in this chapter. However here it is not the obviously idolatrous practices but the more subtle ones associated with Canaanite religion that... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 14:3-21

The diet of the Canaanites also had connection with their religion. Perhaps some of what God forbade would have been unhealthful for the Israelites to eat (cf. Leviticus 11). [Note: See Jay D. Fawver and R. Larry Overstreet, "Moses and Preventive Medicine," Bibliotheca Sacra 147:587 (July-September):270-85.] However the main reason for the prohibitions seems to have been that certain animals did not conform to what the Israelites considered normal or typical. [Note: M. Douglas, Purity and... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 14:1-29

Disfigurings for Mourning Forbidden. Clean and Unclean Meats specified1. Practices connected with idolatry: see on Leviticus 19:27, Leviticus 19:28.2. The foundation of the entire moral and ceremonial law is contained in this and the preceding verse. Israel is the people whom Jehovah has chosen and called His children. As such they must be holy: see intro. to Leviticus 17-26.3-20. On the law of clean and unclean beasts, see Leviticus 1:1 and notes. 5. The pygarg is probably a kind of antelope.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 14:21

(21) That he may eat it.—Literally, and he will eat it. The common practice, and not the intention of the writer, may be indicated. It should be remembered that these rules and restrictions were intended to raise the Israelites above the common level; not to degrade the other nations in comparison of them. Strangers were not compelled to eat what Israel refused; they were left free to please themselves.Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.—This is the last appearance of a command... read more
