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 fishtull, and lerwee.
pygarg or, bison. Heb. dishon. The pygarg, πυγαργος, or white-buttocks, according to the LXX; and Dr. Shaw states that the liamee, as the Africans call it, is exactly such an animal; being of the same shape and colour 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. Deut 14:5

When God directs, his commands are not of doubtful interpretation.

thou shalt bring 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 labour in his work, without distraction.
