Deuteronomy 12:18-20
International Standard Version
18 You’ll eat only in the presence of the Lord your God at the place that he[a] will choose—you, your sons and your daughters, your male and female servants, and the descendant of Levi who is in your cities.[b] Rejoice in the presence of the Lord your God in everything you undertake.[c] 19 Be careful not to forget the descendant of Levi while you live[d] in the land. 20 When the Lord your God enlarges your territory—just as he told you—and you say ‘I want to eat meat’ since you desire to eat it,[e] you may do so as much as you please.[f]
