Deuteronomy 12:20-28

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. 25Thou shalt not eatH398 it; that it may goH3190 wellH3190 with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of Jehovah. 26OnlyH7535 thy holyH6944 thingsH6944 which thou hast, and thy vowsH5088, thou shalt takeH5375, and goH935 unto the placeH4725 which Jehovah shall chooseH977; 27and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the fleshH1320 and the bloodH1818, upon the altarH4196 of Jehovah thy GodH430; and the bloodH1818 of thy sacrificesH2077 shall be pouredH8210 out upon the altarH4196 of Jehovah thy GodH430; and thou shalt eatH398 the fleshH1320. 28ObserveH8104 and hearH8085 all these wordsH1697 which I commandH6680 thee, that it may goH3190 wellH3190 with thee, and with thy children after thee for everH5769, when thou doest that which is goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of Jehovah thy GodH430.
