Deuteronomy 12:19-21

English Standard Version

^19 (A)Take care that you do not neglect the Levite as long as you live in your land.

²⁰ “When the Lord your God ^(B)enlarges your territory, ^(C)as he has promised you, and you say, ‘I will eat meat,’ because you crave meat, you may eat meat whenever you desire. ²¹ If ^(D)the place that the Lord your God will choose to put his name there is too far from you, ^(E)then you may kill any of your herd or your flock, which the Lord has given you, as I have commanded you, and you may eat within your towns whenever you desire.
