Deuteronomy 14

Deuteronomy 14:1-29

Contents: Dietary laws.

Characters: God, Moses.

Conclusion: 1 Timothy 4:3-5.

Key Word: Eating, Deuteronomy 14:3.

Strong Verses: Deuteronomy 14:2.

Striking Facts: It is plain that the precepts concerning food belonged only to the Jews and were not moral or of perpetual use because of not universal obligation. What they might not eat themselves they might give to a stranger or a proselyte who had renounced idolatry or they might sell to an alien. It was evidently intended to keep them from mingling with and conforming themselves to idolatrous neighbors.
