Matthew Poole and continuators on Deuteronomy 12:15

15 Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates , whatsoever thy soul lusteth after , according to the blessing of the LORD thy God, which he hath given thee : the unclean and the clean may eat thereof , as of the roe-buck, and as of the hart.

To wit, for thy common use and food.

(i. e.) Thy cities or dwellings.

What you shall desire either for quantity or quality, provided always you observe the laws given you elsewhere about avoiding excess and uncleanness in the things you eat.

According to thy quality and estate: whereby he manifestly condemns those who profusely and riotously spend other mens money and live at a rate which their consciences know to be much above their ability: which certainly is an ungodly and unrighteous, though too common, practise.

Who is forbidden to eat of holy meats, Levit. 7. 20.

To wit, of any sort of creatures, even of those sorts which are offered to God in sacrifices, which are as free to your use, as the ro-buck, and the hart, which were not accepted in sacrifice, Lev. 22. 19. yet were clean beasts, Deut. 14. 5. and therefore here is a tacit exception of unclean beasts.
