申命記 12:15 註釋：Rashi, Ibn Ezra, Rashbam & Chizkuni

רק בכל אות נפשך HOWEVER [THOU MAYEST SLAUGHTER AND EAT FLESH IN ALL THY GATES] IN EVERY LONGING OF THY SOUL — About what is Scripture here speaking? If you say that it speaks about בשר תאוה (flesh eaten for satisfying the appetite — an ordinary meal of meat and not a sacrificial meal) and that this verse is intended to permit it to them without offering the fat portions on the altar, behold, it states in another passage (v. 20) “When the Lord thy God shall enlarge thy boundary … and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, [because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh in every longing of thy soul]”! About what, then, is this verse speaking? About consecrated animals which had become blemished, — that they must be redeemed and may then be eaten in anyplace (בכל שעריך). One might think that they may be redeemed and thus divested of their holy character also on account of a transitory blemish! Scripture, however, uses the expression רק (which word has a limitative force) (Sifrei Devarim 71:1).

like the gazelle and like the deer which are never offered on the Altar — and hence a gazelle’s suet, as well as a deer’s suet, may be eaten (this supports my previous assertion [comment on Leviticus 7: 23 ff.]; but we rely primarily on our ancestral tradition [Ḥullin 117a]).

בכל אות נפשך, in parts of the country where the Temple does not stand, where it is not acceptable to G’d for us to offer sacrifices. In such locations meat may be eaten without first having become an offering on the altar.

תזבח ואכלת THOU MAYEST SLAUGHTER AND EAT [FLESH] — You have no permission to use their fleece or milk (those of consecrated animals that had become blemished), but only the eating of their flesh after ritual slaughtering is permitted (cf. Sifrei Devarim 71:2-3; Bekhorot 15b).
