Deuteronomy 12:19-21
Lexham English Bible
19 Take care[a] so that you do not neglect the Levite all of your days on your land.
20 “When Yahweh your God enlarges your territory just as he has promised[b] to you, and you say ‘I want to eat some meat,’ because you want it,[c] whenever you desire[d] you may eat meat. 21 If the place that[e] Yahweh your God will choose to put his name there is too far from you, and you slaughter any of your herd and any of your flock that Yahweh has given to you just as I have commanded you, then you may eat whenever you desire in your towns.[f]

19 Be careful not to neglect the Levites(A) as long as you live in your land.(B)
20 When the Lord your God has enlarged your territory(C) as he promised(D) you, and you crave meat(E) and say, “I would like some meat,” then you may eat as much of it as you want. 21 If the place where the Lord your God chooses to put his Name(F) is too far away from you, you may slaughter animals from the herds and flocks the Lord has given you, as I have commanded you, and in your own towns you may eat as much of them as you want.(G)
