New King James Version
18 But you must eat them before the Lord your God in the place which the Lord your God chooses, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God in [a]all to which you put your hands. 19 [b]Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.
20 “When the Lord your God (A)enlarges your border as He has promised you, and you say, ‘Let me eat meat,’ because you long to eat meat, you may eat as much meat as your heart desires.

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.
