Deuteronomy 12:20-28

20When the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall enlargeH7337 thy borderH1366, as he hath promisedH1696 thee, and thou shalt sayH559, I will eatH398 fleshH1320, becauseH3588 thy soulH5315 desireth to eatH398 fleshH1320; thou mayest eatH398 fleshH1320, afterH3588 allH3605 the desireH5315 of thy soulH5315.

21IfH3588 the placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977 to putH5414 his nameH8034 there be tooH4480 farH7368 from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herdH1241 and of thy flockH6629, whichH834 the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 thee, as I have commandedH6680 thee, and thou shalt eatH398 within thy gatesH8179, afterH4480 allH3605 the desireH5315 of thy soulH5315.

22EvenH3651 as the gazelle and as the hart is eatenH398, soH3651 thou shalt eatH398 thereof: the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 shall eatH398 thereof alikeH3162.

23OnlyH7535 be sureH2388 that thou eatH398 notH3808 the bloodH1818: for the bloodH1818 is the lifeH5315; and thou shalt notH3808 eatH398 the lifeH5315 with the fleshH1320.

24Thou shalt notH3808 eatH398 it; thou shalt pourH8210 it outH8210 uponH5921 the earthH776 as waterH4325.

25Thou shalt notH3808 eatH398 it; that it may goH3190 wellH3190 with thee, and with thy childrenH1121 afterH310 thee, when thou shalt doH6213 that whichH5869 is rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068.

26OnlyH7535 thy holyH6944 things whichH834 thou hast, and thy vowsH5088, thou shalt takeH5375, and goH935 unto the placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977:

27and thou shalt offerH2077 thy burntH5930 offeringsH3068, the fleshH1320 and the bloodH1818, uponH5921 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: and the bloodH1818 of thy sacrificesH2077 shall be pouredH8210 outH8210 uponH5921 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and thou shalt eatH398 the fleshH1320.

28ObserveH8104 and hearH8085 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 whichH834 I commandH6680 thee, that it may goH3190 wellH3190 with thee, and with thy childrenH1121 afterH310 thee for everH5769, when thou doest that whichH834 is goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
