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, because thy soulH5315 longethH183 to eatH398 fleshH1320; thou mayest eatH398 fleshH1320, whatever thy soulH5315 desirethH185. 21If the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 to putH7760 his nameH8034 there shall be too farH7368 from thee, then thou shalt killH2076 of thy herdH1241 and of thy flockH6629, which the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 thee, as I have commandedH6680 thee, and thou shalt eatH398 in thy gatesH8179 whatever thy soulH5315 desirethH185. 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 be wellH3190 with thee, and with thy childrenH1121 afterH310 thee, when thou shalt doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068. 26Only thy holy thingsH6944 which thou hast, and thy vowsH5088, thou shalt takeH5375, and goH935 to the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977: 27And thou shalt offerH6213 thy burnt offeringsH5930, the fleshH1320 and the bloodH1818, upon the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: and the bloodH1818 of thy sacrificesH2077 shall be poured outH8210 upon the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and thou shalt eatH398 the fleshH1320. 28ObserveH8104 and hearH8085 all these wordsH1697 which I commandH6680 thee, that it may be wellH3190 with thee, and with thy childrenH1121 afterH310 thee forH5704 everH5769, when thou doestH6213 that which is goodH2896 and rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
