I have not eaten thereof in my mourning--in a season of sorrow, which brought defilement on sacred things; under a pretense of poverty, and grudging to give any away to the poor. neither . . . for any unclean use--that is, any common purpose, different from what God had appointed and which would have been a desecration of it. nor given ought thereof for the dead--on any funeral service, or, to an idol, which is a dead thing.
