Deuteronomy 12:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ The Lord your God will increase your territory, just as he has promised you. When he does, you might get hungry for meat. You might say, “I’d really like some meat.” Then you can eat as much of it as you want to. ²¹ The Lord your God will choose a special place. He will put his Name there. But suppose that place is too far away from you. Then you can kill animals from the herds and flocks the Lord has given you. Do it just as I have commanded you. In your own towns you can eat as much of the meat as you want to. ²² Eat it as you would eat antelope or deer meat. Those who are “clean” and those who are not can eat it.
