What man soever = Hebrew. 'ish 'ish .
killeth [in sacrifice]. The Figure of speech Ellipsis ( App-6 . d) must be thus supplied.

There is no contradiction, therefore, of Deuteronomy 12:15 , Deuteronomy 12:21 , where the context shows equally clearly that only food is in question. Compare Leviticus 17:5 .
