ye shall be holy] See Annot. on * Chap. 19. 5: 6. torne of beasts] If the creature were either killed by a beast, or in part devoured by him, or killed by a man for sacrifice to God, or sustenance to man, and a beast came casually and tore any part of it, in such cases they were not to eate it: and by such a forbearance, they were admonished of decencie, and cleanlinesse in their diet, and of estranging themselves from a participation with beasts in beastly qualities, especially in crueltie. Leviticus 22:8.
