Deuteronomy 12:13-15

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

A Prescribed Place of Worship

¹³ Take care that you do not offer your burnt-offerings at any place you happen to see. ¹⁴ But only at the place that the Lord will choose in one of your tribes—there you shall offer your burnt-offerings and there you shall do everything I command you.

¹⁵ Yet whenever you desire you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your towns, according to the blessing that the Lord your God has given you; the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as they would of gazelle or deer.
