Exegesis
The comparative simile katsavi vekha'ayal {כַּצְּבִי וְכָאַיָּל | ka-ṣə-vî wə-kha-’ā-yal} frames permissible consumption akin to hunting common game species. This parallel legal structure underscores equal access regardless of purity status.
In context — Deuteronomy 15:22
In your gates , you shall eat it; the unclean and the clean, together , as the gazelle and as the deer.
