Deuteronomy 14:2 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Thou art a holy people Since you have the honour to be separated to God as a peculiar people, by laws different from those of all other nations, it behooves you to act suitably to the dignity of your privileges, and to beware of defiling yourselves with any such heathenish rites or practices as are either impious or absurd. Any abominable thing Unclean, and forbidden by me, which therefore should be abominable to you: see on Leviticus 11.

Deuteronomy 14:2

2 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
