20
When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he has promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul desires to eat flesh, according to all the desire of thy soul thou shalt eat flesh.
21
When the place which the LORD thy God shall have chosen to put his name there is far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy cows and of thy sheep, which the LORD has given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates according to all thy soul desires.
22
Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them; the unclean and the clean shall eat
of them alike.
23
Only be sure not to eat the blood; for the blood
is the soul
(or the life), and thou art not to eat the soul with its flesh.
24
Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
25
Thou shalt not eat it that it may go well with thee and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do
that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
26
But the things which thou hast consecrated and thy vows, thou shalt take and go unto the place which the LORD shall have chosen,
27
and thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
28
Keep and hear all these words which I command thee that it may go well with thee and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest
that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
29
When the LORD thy God shall have cut off the Gentiles from before thee, in the place where thou goest to inherit
of them, and thou dost inherit
of them and dost dwell in their land,
30
keep thyself from being snared by following them, after they are destroyed from before thee; enquire not after their gods, saying, After the manner that these Gentiles served their gods, even so will I do likewise.
