Deuteronomy 14 · Grade 4

Name Date

Read and Think

Deuteronomy 14 opens with Israel's identity. They are children of Yahweh their God and a holy people chosen for His own possession. Because of who they are, they must not cut themselves for the dead like the nations did.

The food laws list clean animals, such as the ox, sheep, goat, and deer, along with fish with fins and scales and clean birds. These rules marked Israel as different in everyday life. In the New Testament, Jesus declared all foods clean (Mark 7:19), but the call to be holy in daily life remains.

The tithe was a tenth of the harvest. Israel ate it before God and rejoiced, learning to fear God always. Every third year, the tithe was stored in each town for the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, so they could eat and be satisfied. Giving was joyful worship and care for the needy.
