Deuteronomy 12:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Be careful not to forget the Levites as long as you live in the land.

²⁰ The Lord your God will enlarge your country as he has promised. And you will want some meat. You will say, “I want some meat.” Eat as much meat as you want. ²¹ The Lord your God will choose a place where he is to be worshiped. But it may be too far away from you. If it is, you may kill animals from your herds and flocks. The Lord has given them to you. I have commanded that you may do this. You may eat as much of them as you want in your own towns.
