Verse 21
If the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to put his name be too far from thee ,.... Or rather "for" F8 כי "cum", Pagninus, Montanus. , or "seeing" the place will be too far from thee; for it is allowed before that they might kill and eat flesh for common food in their gates, Deuteronomy 12:15 .
then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock ; of thy oxen and of thy sheep, creatures used in sacrifice; but this was no bar to the use of them for common food also:
which the Lord hath given thee, as I have commanded thee ; Deuteronomy 12:15 .
and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after ; flesh of any sort, lawful to be eaten.
