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 increase your territory, just as he has promised you. When he does, you might get hungry for meat. You might say, "I'd really like some meat." Then you can eat as much of it as you want to.
21 The LORD your God will choose a special place. He will put his Name there. But suppose it's too far away for you to go to it. Then you can kill animals from the herds and flocks the LORD has given you. Do it just as I have commanded you. In your own towns you can eat as much of the meat as you want to.
22 Eat it as you would eat antelope or deer meat. Those who are "clean" and those who are not can eat it.
23 But be sure you don't eat meat that still has blood in it. The blood is the animal's life. So you must not eat the life along with the meat.
24 You must not eat the blood. Pour it out on the ground like water.
