Deuteronomy 12:19-21
New English Translation

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

The Sanctity of Blood

20 When the Lord your God extends your borders as he said he would do and you say, “I want to eat meat just as I please,”[a] you may do so as you wish.[b] 21 If the place he[c] chooses to locate his name is too far for you, you may slaughter any of your herd and flock he[d] has given you just as I have stipulated; you may eat them in your villages[e] just as you wish.
