Even as the gazelle and as the deer is eaten, so you shall eat of it. The unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.

EXPLANATION

Verse 22. Alike. This must be understood of those who had contracted only a smaller stain, which did not communicate the uncleanness to others, but debarred people from approaching to sacred things. Calmet.—Those who had touched the dead, and so forth were not allowed to eat with people, who were not under any such legal uncleanness. Menochius.
