Deuteronomy 12:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ Be careful that you do not neglect the Levites as long as you live on your land.

²⁰ When the Lord your God expands your territory as he promised you, and you say, “I would like to eat meat,” because you are hungry for meat, then you may eat it to your heart’s content. ²¹ If the place that the Lord your God will choose to establish his name is too far away for you, then you may slaughter^[a] animals from your herd and flock which the Lord has given you, just as I commanded you, and you may eat within your cities as you desire.
