Deuteronomy 12:16-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

16. Only the blood you must not eat, but on the ground you must pour it like water.

17. You are not allowed to eat in your towns the tithe of your grain and your wine and your olive oil and the firstborn of your herd and your flock and all of your votive gifts that you vowed and your freewill offering and your donations.

18. But only before Yahweh your God you shall eat it, at the place that Yahweh your God will choose, you and your son and your daughter and your slave and your slave woman and the Levite who is in your towns, and you must rejoice before your God in all your undertakings.

19. Take care 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 to you, and you say ‘I want to eat some meat,’ because you want it, whenever you desire you may eat meat.
