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 {liƒmee,} 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.
