James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:1-29

CONDITIONS OF BLESSING PLACES OF WORSHIP (Deuteronomy 12:0 ) In Canaan, what were the Israelites to destroy and how thoroughly was the work to be done (Deuteronomy 12:1-3 )? What contrast were they to place between themselves and the heathen in public worship (Deuteronomy 12:4-7 )? Did this apply to the same extent in the wilderness, and if not, why not (Deuteronomy 12:8-14 )? What exception was made as to their private and domestic affairs (Deuteronomy 12:15-16 )? What were they not at... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:9-21

The same observations will meet us here concerning the food of fish and of birds, as under the foregoing of beasts. Spiritually considered, and with an eye to the gospel dispensation, the whole are of importance, meaning that all uncleanness is forbidden: and these things are not only commanded to be abstained from in the deed, but even in the very word: and not once to be named among the LORD'S heritage, as becometh saints. Ephesians 5:3 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:15

Ostrich. Hebrew, "the daughter of the june. " The Rabbins say only the young ones were eaten. But this seems doubtful, with respect to many nations, which formerly served up ostriches at table. Heliogabalus presented some of these, as well as camel, to his guests, falsely asserting, (Calmet) that the Jews were commanded to eat them, pr'e6ceptum Jud'e6is ut ederent. (Lamprid.) read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 14:1-21

1-21 Moses tells the people of Israel how God had given them three distinguishing privileges, which were their honour, and figures of those spiritual blessings in heavenly things, with which God has in Christ blessed us. Here is election; "The Lord hath chosen thee." He did not choose them because they were by their own acts a peculiar people to him above other nations, but he chose them that they might be so by his grace; and thus were believers chosen, Ephesians 1:4. Here is adoption; "Ye are... read more

Of Unclean Beasts v. 1. Ye are the children of the Lord, your God, and this relation toward the covenant God made them a people of property, of God's possession, a peculiar people; ye shall not cut yourselves, make incisions in the flesh, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead, as a sign of mourning, Leviticus 19:28. v. 2.

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 14:1-29

Continuing, Moses proceeded to give the injunctions which revealed his consciousness of this effect of worship on conduct, warning the people against specific evils and urging them anew to observance of matters enjoined by the Law. In this chapter we find first of all his warning against the seduction of sorrow. The people of the land were accustomed to mutilate themselves in the wildness of their sorrow over the death of friends. All such mutilation was strictly forbidden to the people... read more

Deuteronomy 14:11 ‘ Of all clean birds you may eat.’ Again the common birds such as the turtle-dove and pigeons could be eaten, along with many others. They flew in the air, and ate insects and seed. They kept to their proper sphere.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 14:1-29

CRITICAL NOTES.—The people were not only to suppress idolatry, but their whole life and conduct must be ruled according to their holy character and high calling. They must not, like other nations, disfigure their bodies in passionate grief, nor defile themselves with unclean meat.Deuteronomy 14:1. Cut (Leviticus 19:28) as idolators in mourning.
