Deuteronomy 12:20-24

20When Jehovah thy GodH430 shall enlargeH7337 thy borderH1366, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt sayH559, I will eatH398 fleshH1320, because thy soulH5315 desireth to eatH398 fleshH1320; thou mayest eatH398 fleshH1320, after all the desireH5315 of thy soulH5315. 21If the placeH4725 which Jehovah thy GodH430 shall chooseH977, to putH5414 his nameH8034 there, be too farH7368 from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herdH1241 and of thy flockH6629, which Jehovah hath givenH5414 thee, as I have commandedH6680 thee; and thou mayest eatH398 within thy gatesH8179, after all the desireH5315 of thy soulH5315. 22Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eatenH398, soH3651 thou shalt eatH398 thereof: the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 may eatH398 thereof alikeH3162. 23OnlyH7535 be sure that thou eatH398 not the bloodH1818: for the bloodH1818 is the lifeH5315; and thou shalt not eatH398 the lifeH5315 with the fleshH1320. 24Thou shalt not eatH398 it; thou shalt pourH8210 it out upon the earthH776 as waterH4325.
