EXPLANATION

Verse 24. Bruised. Hebrew does not specify what part, no more than the Syr. or Arab. versions; but the Sept., Chal., Rabbins, and most commentators agree with us.—Do any, and so forth (faciatis.) You shall not sacrifice (Syriac) any thing that is rendered unfit to propagate its kind: neither shall you reduce either man or beast to that condition. Josephus c. Apion ii. Rabbins.
