The first comma in verse thirteen was added to this section in 1921.  Some refer to this comma as the 'vegetarian comma.' This a misnomer since neither the interpretation that stresses a pause (with the comma) or the interpretation without the pause would lead one to interpret this verse as an argument for never eating meat. It appears that the inserted comma simply clarified the generally accepted interpretation of this verse so that the general interpretation of this verse today is the same as that prior to the comma's insertion.  This interpretation is in harmony with other verses that suggest that meat should be used sparingly.
