Commentary
3 notes on this verseThe vulture after his kind - The word דאה daah is improperly translated vulture Lev 11:14, and means a kite or glede. The word דיה daiyah in this verse is not only different from that in Leviticus, but means also a different animal, properly enough translated vulture. See the note on Lev 11:14.
This site's exposition
These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters
on Deuteronomy 14:9-20
Water creatures get a test and no list, fins and scales, so the rule reaches species nobody has named. The birds are handled the other way, by naming what is forbidden and leaving all the rest clean, and this list runs to twenty one where Leviticus 11:13-19 gives twenty, the glede being the addition. The bat closes the list of fowls, since the grouping follows how a creature moves rather than how it is built. Leviticus 11:21-22 allowed four kinds of leaping insect, the locust among them, and verse 19 forbids every creeping thing that flieth without repeating that exception, which the Targum of Jonathan and Aben Ezra supply from the earlier text.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Of all clean fowls you may eat. [4.] They are further forbidden, First, To eat the flesh of any creature that died of itself, because the blood was not separated from it, and, besides the ceremonial uncleanness which it lay under (from Lev. xi. 39 ), it is not wholesome food, nor ordinarily used among us, except by the poor.
