kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the
L
ORD
thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck,
and as of the hart.
16
Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
17
Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the
firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill
offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
18
But thou must eat them before the L
ORD
thy God in
the place which the L
ORD
thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy
manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that
is
within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice
before the L
ORD
thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
19
Take heed to thyself that thou
forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
20
When the L
ORD
thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt
say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy
soul lusteth after.
21
If the place which the L
ORD
thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too
far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the L
ORD
hath given thee, as
I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
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 that thou eat not the blood: for the blood
is
the life; and thou mayest
not eat the life with the 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 L
ORD
.
26
Only thy holy things which thou hast, and
thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the L
ORD
shall choose:
27
And thou shalt
offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the L
ORD
thy God: and the blood
of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the L
ORD
thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
28
Observe 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
L
ORD
thy God.
29
When the L
ORD
thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to
possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
30
Take heed to thyself that
thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou
enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do
likewise.
31
Thou shalt not do so unto the L
ORD
thy God: for every abomination to the L
ORD
, which
he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt
in the fire to their gods.
32
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add
thereto, nor diminish from it.
