CHAP. XIV.
1 Gods children are not to disfigure themselues in mourning. 3 What may, and what may not be eaten, 4 of beasts, 9 of fishes, 11 of foules. 21 That which dieth of it selfe, may not be eaten. 22 Tithes of diuine Seruice. 23 Tithes and firstlings of reioycing before the Lord. 28 The third yeeres tithe of Almes and Charitie.
1 Yee are the children of the Lord your God: yee shall not cutte your selues, nor make any baldnesse betweene your eyes for the dead.1
2 For thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people vnto himselfe, aboue all the nations that are vpon the earth.2
3 ¶ Thou shalt not eate any abominable thing.
4 These are the beasts which yee shall eate: the oxe, the sheepe, and the goat,4
5 The Hart, and the Roe bucke, and the fallow deere, and the wilde goat, and the Pygarg, and the wilde oxe, and the chamois.5
9 ¶ These yee shall eate of all that are in the waters: all that haue finnes and scales shall ye eate:9
10 And whatsoeuer hath not sinnes and scales, ye may not eat: it is vncleane vnto you.
11 ¶ Of all cleane birds ye shall eate.
12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the Eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kinde,
14 And euery rauen after his kinde,
15 And the owle, & the night hawke, and the cuckow, and the hawke after his kinde,
16 The little owle, and the great owle, and the swanne,
17 And the pellicane, and the Geer-eagle, and the cormorant,
18 And the Storke, and the Heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the batte.18
19 And euery creeping thing that flyeth, is vncleane vnto you: they shall not be eaten.
20 But of all cleane foules ye may eat.
21 ¶ Ye shall not eate of any thing that dieth of it selfe: thou shalt giue it vnto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eate it, or thou mayest sell it vnto an alien: for thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kidde in his mothers milke.21
22 Thou shalt truely tithe all the increase of thy seede, that the field bringeth forth yeere by yeere.
26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoeuer thy soule lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheepe, or for wine, or for strong drinke, or for whatsoeuer thy soule desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt reioyce, thou and thine houshold.26
27 And the Leuite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him: for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.27
View Wesley's Notes for Deuteronomy Chapter 14
14:1 Of the Lord - Whom therefore you must not disparage by unworthy or unbecoming practices. Ye shall not cut yourselves - Which were the practices of idolaters, both in the worship of their idols, in their funerals, and upon occasion of public calamities. Is not this like a parent's charge to his little children, playing with knives, Do not cut yourselves! This is, the intention of those commands, which obliges us to deny ourselves. The meaning is, Do yourselves no harm! And as this also is, the design of cross providences, to remove from us those things by which we are in danger of doing ourselves harm.
14:3 Abominable - Unclean and forbidden by me, which therefore should be abominable to you.
14:22 All the increase - This is to be understood of the second tithes, which seem to be the same with the tithes of the first year, mentioned #De 14:28|.
14:25 In thine hand - That is, in a bag to be taken into thy hand and carried with thee.
14:27 Thou shalt not forsake him - Thou shalt give him a share in such tithes or in the product of them.
14:28 At the end of three years - That is, in the third year, as it is, expressed, #Deu 26:12|. The same year - This is added to shew that he speaks of the third year, and not of the fourth year, as some might conjecture from the phrase, at the end of three years.
