Lexham English Bible

20 “When Yahweh your God enlarges your territory just as he has promised[g] to you, and you say ‘I want to eat some meat,’ because you want it,[h] whenever you desire[i] you may eat meat.

Deuteronomy 12:18-20
New International Version

18 Instead, you are to eat(A) them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place the Lord your God will choose(B)—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites from your towns—and you are to rejoice(C) before the Lord your God in everything you put your hand to. 19 Be careful not to neglect the Levites(D) as long as you live in your land.(E)

20 When the Lord your God has enlarged your territory(F) as he promised(G) you, and you crave meat(H) and say, “I would like some meat,” then you may eat as much of it as you want.
