Thou shall not eat any abominable thing. ] That is so either in its own nature, or because forbidden by the Lord; what are such are declared in the following verses.
1
4 Ye are the bnei Hashem Eloheichem; ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2
For thou art an Am Kadosh unto Hashem Eloheicha, and Hashem hath chosen thee to be an Am Segullah (treasured people) unto Himself, above kol haamim that are upon ha’adamah.
3
Thou shalt not eat any to’evah (detestable thing).
4
These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the shor, the seh, and the izzim,
5
The deer, and the gazelle, and the yachmur, and the akko, and the antelope, and the wild ox, and the wild goat.
