Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Every domesticated animal that was slain for food was a sort of peace-offering Lev 17:5. This law could only be kept as long as the children of Israel dwelt in their camp in the wilderness. The restriction was removed before they settled in the holy land, where their numbers and diffusion over the country would have rendered its strict observance impossible. See Deu 12:15-16, Deu 12:20-24. Lev 17:4 Blood shall be imputed unto that man - i. e. he has incurred guilt in shedding blood in an unlawful manner. Cut off - See Exo 31:14 note.

That killeth-Not for common use, for such beasts might be killed by any person or in any place but for sacrifice. In the camp, or out of the camp - That is, anywhere.
