Deuteronomy 12:15-22
15“1HoweverH7534, you may slaughterH2076 and eatH398 meatH1320 within anyH3605 of your gatesH8179, 2whateverH3605 you desireH185, according to the blessingH1293 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 whichH834 He has givenH5414 you; the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 may eatH398 of it, as of 3the gazelleH6643 and the deerH354. 164OnlyH7534 you shall not eatH398 the bloodH1818; 5you are to pourH8210 it out on the groundH776 like waterH4325. 176You are not allowedH3201 to eatH398 within your gatesH8179 the titheH4643 of your grainH1715 or newH8492 wineH8492 or oilH3323, or the firstbornH1060 of your herdH1241 or flockH6629, or anyH3605 of your votiveH5088 offeringsH5088 whichH834 you vowH5087, or your freewillH5071 offeringsH5071, or the 7contributionH8641 of your handH3027. 18But 8you shall eatH398 them beforeH6440 the LordH3068 your GodH430 in 9the placeH4725 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 will chooseH977, you and your sonH1121 and daughterH1323, and your maleH5650 and femaleH519 servantsH5650H519, and the 10LeviteH3881 whoH834 is within your gatesH8179; and you shall 11rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 your GodH430 in allH3605 12your undertakingsH3027H4916. 1913Be carefulH8104 that you do not forsakeH5800 the LeviteH3881 14as longH3605H3117 as you liveH3117 in your landH127.
20“WhenH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 extendsH7337 your borderH1366 15as He has promisedH1696 you, and you sayH559, ‘I will eatH398 meatH1320,’ becauseH3588 16you desireH183 to eatH398 meatH1320, then you may eatH398 meatH1320, 17whateverH3605 you desireH185. 21IfH3588 the placeH4725 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 choosesH977 to putH7760 His nameH8034 is too farH7368 from you, then you may slaughterH2076 of your herdH1241 and flockH6629 whichH834 the LordH3068 has givenH5414 you, as I have commandedH6680 you; and you may eatH398 within your gatesH8179 18whateverH3605 you desireH185. 22JustH389H3512 as a gazelleH6643 or a deerH354 is eatenH398, soH3651 you will eatH398 it; the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 alikeH3164 may eatH398 of it.
