^{Deuteronomy 14:13 [4]} Lit according to its kind, and so throughout.

^{Deuteronomy 14:21 [5]} This may refer to an ancient Canaanite fertility rite, though another possibility is that it is an affront to the Creator to kill an animal with the substance that was intended to nourish it. In any case, the rabbis later extended the law to prohibit the consumption of boiled meat upon which a drop of milk had fallen, if the milk imparted any flavor to the meat. Subsequent Jewish law has forbidden the serving of meat and dairy products together.

^{Deuteronomy 14:23 [6]} This seems to refer to a communal meal which was part of worship, directed by the priests. Elsewhere, the tithe is designated for the priests in compensation for their services, and for the needy (NUM 18:21; DEU 26:12).

^{Deuteronomy 14:26 [7]} Lit whatever your soul desires.

^{Deuteronomy 14:26 [8]} Lit whatever your soul desires.
