VERSE 5
- the wild goat.
The word {akko,} according to the LXX. and Vulgate, signifies
the {tragelephus,} or goat-deer; so called from its
resemblance to both species. Dr. Shaw states that an animal
of this kind is found in the East, where it is called
{fisht-ll,} and {lerwee.}
pygarg. or, bison. Heb. dishon.
The {pygarg,} [ ,] or white-buttocks, according
to the LXX.; and Dr. Shaw states that the {liâmee,} as the
Africans call it, is exactly such an animal; being of the same
shape and color as the antelope, and of the size of a
roebuck.
- the wild ox.
{Theo,} probably the {oryx} of the Greeks, a species of large
stag; and the {Bekkar el wash} of Dr. Shaw.

VERSE 6
* Ps 1:1,2 Pr 18:1 2Co 6:17
On this verse remark, that the clean beast must both chew the
cud and part the hoof: two distinct characteristics, or
general signs, by which the possibility of error arising from
the misinterpretation of names is obviated. When God directs,
his commands are not of doubtful interpretation.

As the Levites had no inheritance, the Israelites were not to
forget them, but truly tithe their increase. For their
support, the Levites had, 1. The tenth of all the productions
of the land. 2. Forty-eight cities, each forming a square of
4,000 cubits. 3. Two thousand cubits of ground round each
city; total of land, 53,000 acres. 4. The first-fruits, and
certain parts of all the animals killed in the land. But
though this was a very small proportion for a whole tribe that
had consented to annihilate its political existence, that it
might wait upon the service of God, yet, let it be considered,
that what they possessed was the best of the land: and while
it was slender remuneration for their services, yet their
portion was such as rendered them independent, and kept them
comfortable; so that they could wait on God, and labor in his
work, without distraction.
