Deuteronomy 12:19-21

New Century Version

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

²⁰ When the Lord your God enlarges your country as he has promised, and you want some meat so you say, “I want some meat,” you may eat as much meat as you want. ²¹ If the Lord your God chooses a place where he is to be worshiped that is too far away from you, you may kill animals from your herds and flocks, which the Lord has given to you. I have commanded that you may do this. You may eat as much of them as you want in your own towns,
