Deuteronomy 12:20-25

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 fleshH1320.1 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.
