Commentary on Deuteronomy 15:22

Theological / Devotional

Within thy gates. It was partaken of at home as an ordinary meal. Nearby Levites, strangers, and the needy probably shared the meal.

The unclean. Ceremonial purity was not required, as when a sacrificial animal was eaten before the Lord, for this was common food and not a sanctified offering (see ch. 12:15,20).
