To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Therefore, for the shorter- living and harder-working race, God provided animal food, so that, for as long as life lasted, it might be strong, well nourished, and active. ' The Speaker's Commentary notes that before the flood we have no prohibition of animal food, and says : ' It is likely that those who fed and sacrificed sheep, like Abel, who kept cattle, like Jabal, or who handled instruments of bronze or iron, like Tubal-Cain, would in the course of time have learned the use of animal food.... If so, we may consider the words of this verse as a concession to the infirmities or the necessities of mankind, coupled with restrictions which may have been called for by the savage practices of the antediluvians. ' In another note the idea given at the beginning of this paragraph finds support. ' Rashi and some other Jewish commentators under- stand a prohibition of the practice of eating flesh cut from the living animal, and so Luther translated "the flesh which yet lives in its blood. " The monstrous wickedness of the antediluvians, by which the earth was filled with violence, may have taken this form among others ; and these words without doubt condemn by implication all such fiendish cruelty.
