Deuteronomy 12:13-28

13TakeH8104 heedH8104 to thyself that thou offerH5927 not thy burnt-offerings in every placeH4725 that thou seest;

14but in the placeH4725 which Jehovah will chooseH977 in oneH259 of thy tribesH7626, there thou shalt offerH5927 thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I commandH6680 thee.

15Nevertheless, according to all the desireH5315 of thy soulH5315 thou mayest slay and eatH398 fleshH1320 in all thy gatesH8179, according to the blessingH1293 of Jehovah thy 1GodH430 which he hath givenH5414 thee: the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 may eatH398 thereof, as of the gazelle, and the hart.

16OnlyH7535, ye shall not eatH398 the bloodH1818; ye shall pourH8210 it upon the earthH776 as waterH4325.

17Thou mayest not eatH398 within thy gatesH8179 the titheH4643 of thy corn, or of thy newH8492 wineH8492, or of thine oilH3323, or the firstlings of thy kine or of thy sheepH6629, nor any of thy vowsH5088 which thou vowest, nor thy voluntary-offerings, nor the heave-offering of thy handH3027;

18but before Jehovah thy 2GodH430 shalt thou eatH398 them in the placeH4725 which Jehovah thy 3GodH430 will chooseH977, thou and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the LeviteH3881 that is within thy gatesH8179; and thou shalt rejoiceH8055 before Jehovah thy 4GodH430 in all the business of thy handH3027.

19TakeH8104 heedH8104 to thyself that thou forsakeH5800 not the LeviteH3881 all the daysH3117 thou shalt be in thy landH127.

20When Jehovah thy 5GodH430 shall enlargeH7337 thy borderH1366, as he promised thee, and thou sayH559, I will eatH398 fleshH1320, because thy soulH5315 longeth to eatH398 fleshH1320, thou mayest eatH398 fleshH1320, according to all the desireH5315 of thy soulH5315.

21If the placeH4725 which Jehovah thy 6GodH430 will chooseH977 to setH7760 his nameH8034 there be too farH7368 from thee, then thou shalt slay of thy kine and of thy sheepH6629 which Jehovah hath givenH5414 thee, as I have commandedH6680 thee, and thou shalt eatH398 in thy gatesH8179 according to all the desireH5315 of thy soulH5315.

22Even as the gazelle and the hart is eatenH398, soH3651 thou shalt eatH398 them: the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 alikeH3162 may eatH398 of them.

23OnlyH7535, be sure that thou eatH398 not the bloodH1818; for the bloodH1818 is the lifeH5315, and thou mayest not eatH398 the lifeH5315 with the fleshH1320;

24thou shalt not eatH398 it; thou shalt pourH8210 it 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 what is rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of Jehovah.

26But thy hallowed thingsH6944 which thou hast, and what thou hast vowedH5088, thou shalt takeH5375, and comeH935 to the placeH4725 which Jehovah will chooseH977;

27and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the fleshH1320 and the bloodH1818, upon the altarH4196 of Jehovah thy 7GodH430; and the bloodH1818 of thy sacrificesH2077 shall be pouredH8210 out upon the altarH4196 of Jehovah thy 8GodH430, and the fleshH1320 shalt thou eatH398.

28TakeH8104 heed to hearH8085 all these wordsH1697 which I commandH6680 thee, that it may be wellH3190 with thee, and with thy children after thee for everH5769, when thou doest what is goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of Jehovah thy 9GodH430.
