Deuteronomy 12:15-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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.(A) 16 The blood, however, you must not eat; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.(B) 17 Nor may you eat within your towns the tithe of your grain, your wine, and your oil, the firstlings of your herds and your flocks, any of your votive gifts that you vow, your freewill offerings, or your donations; 18 these you shall eat in the presence of the Lord your God at the place that the Lord your God will choose, you together with your son and your daughter, your male and female slaves, and the Levites resident in your towns, rejoicing in the presence of the Lord your God in all your undertakings.(C) 19 Take care that you do not neglect the Levite as long as you live in your land.(D)

Deuteronomy 12:15-19
Lexham English Bible

15 “But whenever you desire[a] you may slaughter, and you may eat meat according to the blessing of Yahweh your God that he has given to you in all of your towns;[b] the unclean and the clean may eat it just as they would the gazelle and as the deer. 16 Only the blood you must not eat, but on the ground you must pour it like water. 17 You are not allowed to eat in your towns[c] the tithe of your grain and your wine and your olive oil and the firstborn of your herd and your flock and all of your votive gifts that you vowed and your freewill offering and your donations.[d] 18 But only before[e] Yahweh your God you shall eat it, at the place that Yahweh your God will choose,[f] you and your son and your daughter and your slave and your slave woman and the Levite who is in your towns,[g] and you must rejoice before[h] your God in all your undertakings.[i] 19 Take care[j] so that you do not neglect the Levite all of your days on your land.
