Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Leviticus 17:15-16

_ _ every soul that eateth that which died of itself (Exodus 22:31; Leviticus 7:24; Acts 15:20),

_ _ be unclean until the even — that is, from the moment of his discovering his fault until the evening. This law, however, was binding only on an Israelite. (See Deuteronomy 14:21).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Leviticus 17:10-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Leviticus 17:15

That eateth — Through ignorance or inadvertency; for if it was done knowingly, it was more severely punished. A stranger — Who is a proselyte to the Jewish religion: other strangers were allowed to eat such things, Deuteronomy 14:21, out of which the blood was either not drawn at all, or not regularly.
