New King James Version
Deuteronomy 12:19-21
New King James Version
19 [a]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 (A)enlarges 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 (B)you, 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.
