Deuteronomy 12:18

16 ^aOnly you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it on the earth like water.

17 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain or your new wine or your oil, of the firstborn of your herd or your flock, of any of your offerings which you vow, of your freewill offerings, or of the¹ heave offering of your hand.

18 But you must eat them before the Lord your God in the place which the Lord your God chooses, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God in¹ all to which you put your hands.

19 Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.

20 “When the Lord your God ^aenlarges your border as He has promised you, and you say, ‘Let me eat meat,’ because you long to eat meat, you may eat as much meat as your heart desires.

21 If the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from ^ayou, then you may slaughter from your herd and from your flock which the Lord has given you, just as I have commanded you, and you may eat within your gates as much as your heart desires.
