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

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

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 14:4-10

Deuteronomy 14:4 ‘ These are the beasts which you (ye) may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,’ These are the animals which can be used for offerings and sacrifices. They are all domestic animals. They belong to the people (in contrast with wild animals which belong to Yahweh) and can be offered to God as an offering. Thus they are clearly right to eat. Deuteronomy 14:5 ‘ The hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois.’ These... read more

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.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 14:1-29

Deuteronomy 14:1 . Ye shall not cut yourselves for the dead. Jeremiah mentions the not paying these honours to the dead as a punishment: Jeremiah 16:6. It was once a general custom among the heathen, for the males and females to cut off their hair and bury it with a deceased father. The Israelites, it is evident, in adolatrous times, adopted almost every custom of the heathens. Hence, says the prophet, Jeremiah 48:37, when alluding to the destruction of his country by the Babylonians,... read more
