Deuteronomy 12:20

Detailed Stipulations: Purity And Unity

¹⁹ Be careful that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land. ²⁰ “When the Lord your God extends your border as He has promised you, and you say, ‘I will eat meat,’ because you desire to eat meat, then you may eat meat, whatever you desire. ²¹ If the place which the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, then you may slaughter of your herd and flock which the Lord has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates whatever you desire.
