Ask a Question"But you must eat them before the LORD your God in the place which the LORD your God chooses, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in all to which you put your hands.
"Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.
"When the LORD your God 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.
"If the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His name is too far from 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.
"Just as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you may eat them; the unclean and the clean alike may eat them.
"Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life; you may not eat the life with the meat.
"You shall not eat it; you shall pour it on the earth like water.
"You shall not eat it, that it may go well with you and your children after you, when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD.
"Only the holy things which you have, and your vowed offerings, you shall take and go to the place which the LORD chooses.
"And you shall offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on the altar of the LORD your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the LORD your God, and you shall eat the meat.
"Observe and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.
"You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way; for every abomination to the LORD which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.
"You shall not plant for yourself any tree, as a wooden image, near the altar which you build for yourself to the LORD your God.
"You shall not set up a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.
"You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God a bull or sheep which has any blemish or defect, for that is an abomination to the LORD your God.
"If there is found among you, within any of your gates which the LORD your God gives you, a man or a woman who has been wicked in the sight of the LORD your God, in transgressing His covenant,
"who has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, either the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded,
"and it is told you, and you hear of it, then you shall inquire diligently. And if it is indeed true and certain that such an abomination has been committed in Israel,
"then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has committed that wicked thing, and shall stone to death that man or woman with stones.
"Whoever is deserving of death shall be put to death on the testimony of two or three witnesses; he shall not be put to death on the testimony of one witness.
