Deuteronomy 12:20-22

20“WhenH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 extendsH7337 your borderH1366 1as He has promisedH1696 you, and you sayH559, ‘I will eatH398 meatH1320,’ becauseH3588 2you desireH183 to eatH398 meatH1320, then you may eatH398 meatH1320, 3whateverH3605 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 4whateverH3605 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.
