Deuteronomy 12:22 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 12:22

Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten
Which were not only clean creatures, as before observed, but were commonly and frequently eaten, there being plenty of them in those parts:

so thou shalt eat them;
their oxen and calves, their sheep and lambs, their goats and their kids:

the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike;
no difference being to be made on that account, with respect to common food; (See Gill on Deuteronomy 12:15) which all alike might partake of, notwithstanding any ceremonial uncleanness that any might be attended with.

Deuteronomy 12:22 In-Context

20 quando dilataverit Dominus Deus tuus terminos tuos sicut locutus est tibi et volueris vesci carnibus quas desiderat anima tua

21 locus autem quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus ut sit nomen eius ibi si procul fuerit occides de armentis et pecoribus quae habueris sicut praecepi tibi et comedes in oppidis tuis ut tibi placet

22 sicut comeditur caprea et cervus ita vesceris eis et mundus et inmundus in commune vescentur

23 hoc solum cave ne sanguinem comedas sanguis enim eorum pro anima est et idcirco non debes animam comedere cum carnibus

24 sed super terram fundes quasi aquam
