18But they will be your food before the Lord your God in the place of his selection, where you may make a feast of them, with your son and your daughter, and your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is living with you: and you will have joy before the Lord your God in everything to which you put your hand.
19See that you do not give up caring for the Levite as long as you are living in your land.
20When the Lord your God makes wide the limit of your land, as he has said, and you say, I will take flesh for my food, because you have a desire for it; then you may take whatever flesh you have a desire for.
21If the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name is far away from you, then take from your herds and from your flocks which the Lord has given you, as I have said, and have a meal of it in the towns where you may be living.
22It will be your food, like the gazelle and the roe; the unclean and the clean may take of it.
23But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh.
24Do not take it for food but let it be drained out on the earth like water.
