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 The LORD your God will expand your [country's] borders as he promised. You will say, "I'm hungry for meat." Then eat as much meat as you want.

21 If the place the LORD your God chooses to put his name is too far away from you, you may slaughter an animal from the herds or flocks that the LORD has given you. Eat as much as you want in your city. I have commanded you to do this.

22 Eat it as you would eat a gazelle or a deer: Clean and unclean people may eat it together.

23 However, be sure you never eat blood, because blood contains life. Never eat the life with the meat.

24 Never eat blood. Pour it on the ground like water.
