Deuteronomy 12:19-21

The Voice

¹⁹ (Don’t ever neglect the Levites! Make sharing with them a part of your lifestyle the whole time you’re living in that land.)

^20-21 You see, the Eternal your God is going to give you an extensive territory as He’s promised. You may be living at some distance from the place where He chooses to put His name. And there will be times when you say to yourself, “I’m going to have some meat—that’s what I’m craving!” Go right ahead—as often as you wish. If you take from one of the domesticated animals the Eternal has given you from your herd or your flock and eat it in your own town, I’m telling you it’s all right to do that.
