Deuteronomy 12:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 (A)After the Lord, your God, has enlarged your territory, as he promised you,(B) and you think, “I will eat meat,” as it is your desire to eat meat, you may eat it freely; 21 and if the place where the Lord, your God, chooses to put his name is too far, you may slaughter in the manner I have commanded you any of your herd or flock that the Lord has given you, and eat it freely in your own community. 22 You may eat it as you would the gazelle or the deer: the unclean and the clean eating it together.
