Deuteronomy 12:13-28

13Take heedH8104 to thyself that thou offerH5927 not thy burnt offeringsH5930 in every placeH4725 that thou seestH7200: 14But in the placeH4725 which YhwhH3068 shall chooseH977 in oneH259 of thy tribesH7626, there thou shalt offerH5927 thy burnt offeringsH5930, and there thou shalt doH6213 all that I commandH6680 thee. 15Notwithstanding thou mayest killH2076 and eatH398 fleshH1320 in all thy gatesH8179, whatsoever thy soulH5315 desiresH185, according to the blessingH1293 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 which he hath givenH5414 thee: the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 may eatH398 thereof, as of the roebuckH6643, and as of the hartH354. 16Only ye shall not eatH398 the bloodH1818; ye shall pourH8210 it upon the earthH776 as waterH4325.

17Thou mayestH3201 not eatH398 within thy gatesH8179 the titheH4643 of thy grainH1715, or of thy wineH8492, or of thy oilH3323, or the firstlingsH1062 of thy herdsH1241 or of thy flockH6629, nor any of thy vowsH5088 which thou vowestH5087, nor thy freewill offeringsH5071, or heave offeringH8641 of thine handH3027: 18But thou must eatH398 them beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy manservantH5650, and thy maidservantH519, and the LeviteH3881 that is within thy gatesH8179: and thou shalt rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 in all that thou puttestH4916 thine handsH3027 unto. 19Take heedH8104 to thyself that thou forsakeH5800 not the LeviteH3881 as long as thou livestH3117 upon the earthH127.1

20When YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 shall enlargeH7337 thy borderH1366, as he hath promisedH1696 thee, and thou shalt sayH559, I will eatH398 fleshH1320, because thy soulH5315 longethH183 to eatH398 fleshH1320; thou mayest eatH398 fleshH1320, whatsoever thy soulH5315 desiresH185. 21If the placeH4725 which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 to putH7760 his nameH8034 there be too farH7368 from thee, then thou shalt killH2076 of thy herdH1241 and of thy flockH6629, which YhwhH3068 hath givenH5414 thee, as I have commandedH6680 thee, and thou shalt eatH398 in thy gatesH8179 whatsoever thy soulH5315 desiresH185. 22Even as the roebuckH6643 and the hartH354 is eatenH398, so thou shalt eatH398 them: the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 shall eatH398 of them alikeH3162. 23Only be sureH2388 that thou eatH398 not the bloodH1818: for the bloodH1818 is the lifeH5315; and thou mayest not eatH398 the lifeH5315 with the fleshH1320.2 24Thou shalt not eatH398 it; thou shalt pourH8210 it upon the earthH776 as waterH4325. 25Thou shalt not eatH398 it; that it may go wellH3190 with thee, and with thy childrenH1121 afterH310 thee, when thou shalt doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068. 26Only thy holy thingsH6944 which thou hast, and thy vowsH5088, thou shalt takeH5375, and goH935 unto the placeH4725 which YhwhH3068 shall chooseH977: 27And thou shalt offerH6213 thy burnt offeringsH5930, the fleshH1320 and the bloodH1818, upon the altarH4196 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430: and the bloodH1818 of thy sacrificesH2077 shall be poured outH8210 upon the altarH4196 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, and thou shalt eatH398 the fleshH1320. 28ObserveH8104 and hearH8085 all these wordsH1697 which I commandH6680 thee, that it may go wellH3190 with thee, and with thy childrenH1121 afterH310 thee forH5704 everH5769, when thou doestH6213 that which is goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430.
