20“WhenH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 extendsH7337 your borderH1366 17as He has 18promisedH1696 you, and you sayH559, ‘I will eatH398 meatH1320,’ becauseH3588 19you desireH183 to eatH398 meatH1320, then you may eatH398 meatH1320, 20whateverH3605 you desireH185. 21IfH3588 the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 the LordH3068 your GodH430 choosesH977 to putH7760 His nameH8034 isH7368 tooH4480 farH7368 from you, then you may slaughterH2076 animals from your herdH1241 and flockH6629 whichH834 the LordH3068 has givenH5414 you, as I have commandedH6680 you; and you may eatH398 within your gatesH8179 21whateverH3605 you desireH185. 22JustH389H3512 as a gazelleH6643 or a deerH354 is eatenH398, soH3651 you may eatH398 it; the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 alikeH3164 may eatH398 it. 23OnlyH7534 beH2388 sureH2388 22not to eatH398 the bloodH1818, for the bloodH1818 is the 23lifeH5315, and you shall not eatH398 the 24lifeH5315 with the fleshH1320. 24You shall not eatH398 it; you shall pourH8210 it outH8210 on the groundH776 like waterH4325. 25You shall not eatH398 it, soH4616 thatH4616 25it may goH3190 wellH3190 for you and your sonsH1121 afterH310 you, sinceH3588 26you will be doingH6213 whatH3477 isH3477 rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068. 2627OnlyH7534 your holyH6944 thingsH6944 whichH834 you may haveH1961 and your vowedH5088 offeringsH5088, you shall takeH5375 and goH935 to the placeH4725 whichH834 the LordH3068 choosesH977. 27And 28you shall offerH6213 your burntH5930 offeringsH5930, the fleshH1320 and the bloodH1818, on the altarH4196 of the LordH3068 your GodH430; and the bloodH1818 of your sacrificesH2077 shall be pouredH8210 outH8210 on the altarH4196 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, and 29you shall eatH398 the fleshH1320.
28“BeH8104 carefulH8104 and listenH8085 to allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you, soH4616 thatH4616 30it may goH3190 wellH3190 for you and your sonsH1121 afterH310 you foreverH5704H5769, for you will be doingH6213 whatH2896 isH2896 goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 your GodH430.
