Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 4-20. - The regulations here concerning food, and the animals the use of which is forbidden, are substantially the same as in Leviticus 2. There are, however, some differences between the two accounts which may be noticed. 1. In Deuteronomy, the mammals which may be used for food are severally specified as well as described by the general characteristic of the class; in Leviticus, only the latter description is given. 2. In the list of fowls which may not be eaten, the raah (glade) is mentioned in Deuteronomy, but not in Leviticus; and the bird which in the one is called da'ah, is in the other called dayyah (vulture). 3. The class of reptiles which is carefully described in Leviticus is wholly omitted in Deuteronomy. . . .
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) These are the beasts which ye shall eat.--The following paragraph to the end of Deuteronomy 14:8 answers to Leviticus 11:2-8, with this difference. The beasts that are to be eaten are specified in Deuteronomy. The exceptions are given in Leviticus.The ox, the sheep, and the goat.--These being sacrificial animals, naturally stand first. "The sheep and the goat" are literally, "a young one of the sheep or of the goats." This may serve to illustrate Exodus 12:5, "Ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats." According to the letter of the Law in Exodus, the Passover victim might be either lamb or kid. The word seh, used there and in Genesis 22:7-8, is not distinctive of the species. This word is rendered "lamb" in several places in our English Version.
