Deuteronomy 12:19-21

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ Take heed not to forsake or neglect the Levite [God’s minister] as long as you live in your land.

²⁰ When the Lord your God enlarges your territory, as He promised you, and you say, I will eat flesh, because you crave flesh, you may eat flesh whenever you desire.

²¹ If the place where the Lord your God has chosen to put His Name [and Presence] is too far from you, then you shall kill from your herd or flock which the Lord has given you, as I [Moses] have commanded you; eat in your towns as much as you desire.
