Deuteronomy 12:21Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionAnd if the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be there, be far off: thou shalt kill of thy herds and of thy flocks, as I have commanded thee, and shalt eat in thy towns, as it pleaseth thee. See the chapter |
King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned. He was one and forty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there. And the name of his mother was Naama, an Ammonitess.
And thou shalt feast before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger and the fatherless, and the widow, who abide with you: in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there.
But if thou desirest to eat, and the eating of flesh delight thee, kill, and eat according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee, in thy cities. Whether it be unclean (that is to say, having blemish or defect): or clean (that is to say, sound and without blemish), such as may be offered, as the roe and the hart, shalt thou eat it.
