Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 12 of Deuteronomy. The legislation permits eating meat in the cities but distinguishes ordinary consumption from cultic sacrifice. Blood must not be eaten because it represents life and belongs to God. The passage simultaneously regulates food, sacrifice, and respect for life, preventing everyday practices from becoming separated from awareness of divine holiness.

Wie man Reh oder Hirsch ißt, magst du es essen; beide, der Reine und der Unreine, mögen es zugleich essen.
Lo mismo que se come el corzo y el ciervo, así las comerás: el inmundo y el limpio comerán también de ellas.
La comerás como se come la gacela y el ciervo; el impuro y el puro la comerán juntos.
Tu en mangeras comme on mange de la gazelle et du cerf; celui qui sera impur, et celui qui sera pur en mangeront l'un et l'autre.
Ma mangiane, come si mangia del cavriuolo e del cervo; mangine l’immondo e il mondo indifferentemente.
Porém, como se come o corço e o veado, assim comerás; o imundo e o limpo também comerão deles.
其實,就如吃羚羊和鹿的肉一樣,你要這樣吃它,無論潔淨的人不潔淨的人都可以一起吃。
