Verse 17 is found in chapter 14 of Deuteronomy. The laws concerning mourning, clean and unclean animals, and food establish Israel’s ritual identity. The people are called children of the Lord and a holy people, so their conduct even in matters of food must express their consecration. The prohibition of certain mourning and dietary practices distinguishes Israel from the customs of other peoples.
