Deuteronomy 15:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 15:22

Thou shalt eat it within thy gates
Though it might not be sacrificed, nor eaten as an eucharistic feast at Jerusalem, it might be eaten as common food in their own houses:

the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike;
such as were ceremonially unclean, by the touch of a dead body or the like, might partake of it with those that were clean, no difference was to be made:

as the roebuck and as the hart;
which were clean creatures, and used for food, though not for sacrifice; see ( Deuteronomy 12:15 Deuteronomy 12:22 ) .

Deuteronomy 15:22 In-Context

20 Each year you and your household are to eat it in the presence of ADONAI your God in the place which ADONAI will choose.
21 But if it has a defect, is lame or blind, or has some other kind of fault, you are not to sacrifice it to ADONAI your God;
22 rather, eat it on your own property; the unclean and the clean alike may eat it, like the gazelle or the deer.
23 Just don't eat its blood, but pour it out on the ground like water.
