Ezekiel 44:31
Context44:31 The priests will not eat any bird or animal that has died a natural death or was torn to pieces by a wild animal. 1
Ezekiel 4:14
Context4:14 And I said, “Ah, sovereign Lord, I have never been ceremonially defiled before. I have never eaten a carcass or an animal torn by wild beasts; from my youth up, unclean meat 2 has never entered my mouth.”


[44:31] 1 tn The words “by a wild animal” are not in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation as a clarification of the circumstances.
[4:14] 2 tn The Hebrew term refers to sacrificial meat not eaten by the appropriate time (Lev 7:18; 19:7).
