Deuteronomy 12:19-21

New International Version - UK

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

²⁰ When the Lord your God has enlarged your territory as he promised you, and you crave meat and say, ‘I would like some meat,’ then you may eat as much of it as you want. ²¹ If the place where the Lord your God chooses to put his Name is too far away from you, you may slaughter animals from the herds and flocks the Lord has given you, as I have commanded you, and in your own towns you may eat as much of them as you want.
