Contextual Overview
5 But you shall seek to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose out of all your tribes; for you shall seek His dwelling, to put His name there. And you shall go there. 6 And you shall bring your burnt offerings there, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offering, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock. 7 And you shall eat there before Jehovah your God, and shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, with which Jehovah your God has blessed you. 8 You shall not do according to all that we are doing here today, each doing all that is right in his own eyes. 9 For you have not come to the rest and to the inheritance which Jehovah your God is giving to you. 10 And you shall cross over the Jordan, and shall live in the land which Jehovah your God is causing you to inherit. And He shall give you rest from all your enemies all around; and you shall live securely. 11 And it shall be the place which Jehovah your God shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I am commanding you, your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of yourhand, and all your choice freewill offerings which you vow to Jehovah. 12 And you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, you and your sons, and your daughters, and your male slaves, and your female slaves, and the Levite within your gates because he has no portion or inheritance with you. 13 Take heed to yourself that you not offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see; 14 but in the place which Jehovah shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten,.... Which were not only clean creatures, as before observed, but were commonly and frequently eaten, there being plenty of them in those parts:
so thou shalt eat them; their oxen and calves, their sheep and lambs, their goats and their kids:
the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike; no difference being to be made on that account, with respect to common food;
:- which all alike might partake of, notwithstanding any ceremonial uncleanness that any might be attended with.
