Deuteronomy 12:20-32

12:20

When the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

shall enlarge
<07337> (8686)

thy border
<01366>_,

as he hath promised
<01696> (8765)

thee, and thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,

I will eat
<0398> (8799)

flesh
<01320>_,

because thy soul
<05315>

longeth
<0183> (8762)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

flesh
<01320>_;

thou mayest eat
<0398> (8799)

flesh
<01320>_,

whatsoever thy soul
<05315>

lusteth after
<0185>_.

12:21

If the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath chosen
<0977> (8799)

to put
<07760> (8800)

his name
<08034>

there be too far
<07368> (8799)

from thee, then thou shalt kill
<02076> (8804)

of thy herd
<01241>

and of thy flock
<06629>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

thee, as I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee, and thou shalt eat
<0398> (8804)

in thy gates
<08179>

whatsoever thy soul
<05315>

lusteth after
<0185>_.

12:22

Even as the roebuck
<06643>

and the hart
<0354>

is eaten
<0398> (8735)_,

so thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

them: the unclean
<02931>

and the clean
<02889>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

[of] them alike
<03162>_.

12:23

Only be sure
<02388> (8798)

that thou eat
<0398> (8800)

not the blood
<01818>_:

for the blood
<01818>

[is] the life
<05315>_;

and thou mayest not eat
<0398> (8799)

the life
<05315>

with the flesh
<01320>_.

{be...: Heb. be strong}

12:24

Thou shalt not eat
<0398> (8799)

it; thou shalt pour
<08210> (8799)

it upon the earth
<0776>

as water
<04325>_.

12:25

Thou shalt not eat
<0398> (8799)

it; that it may go well
<03190> (8799)

with thee, and with thy children
<01121>

after
<0310>

thee, when thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

[that which is] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

12:26

Only thy holy things
<06944>

which thou hast, and thy vows
<05088>_,

thou shalt take
<05375> (8799)_,

and go
<0935> (8804)

unto the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

shall choose
<0977> (8799)_:

12:27

And thou shalt offer
<06213> (8804)

thy burnt offerings
<05930>_,

the flesh
<01320>

and the blood
<01818>_,

upon the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_:

and the blood
<01818>

of thy sacrifices
<02077>

shall be poured out
<08210> (8735)

upon the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

and thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

the flesh
<01320>_.

12:28

Observe
<08104> (8798)

and hear
<08085> (8804)

all these words
<01697>

which I command
<06680> (8764)

thee, that it may go well
<03190> (8799)

with thee, and with thy children
<01121>

after
<0310>

thee for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_,

when thou doest
<06213> (8799)

[that which is] good
<02896>

and right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

12:29

When the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

shall cut off
<03772> (8686)

the nations
<01471>

from before
<06440>

thee, whither thou goest
<0935> (8802)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

them, and thou succeedest
<03423> (8804)

them, and dwellest
<03427> (8804)

in their land
<0776>_;

{succeedest...: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest them}

12:30

Take heed
<08104> (8734)

to thyself that thou be not snared
<05367> (8735)

by following
<0310>

them, after
<0310>

that they be destroyed
<08045> (8736)

from before
<06440>

thee; and that thou enquire
<01875> (8799)

not after their gods
<0430>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

How did these nations
<01471>

serve
<05647> (8799)

their gods
<0430>_?

even so will I do
<06213> (8799)

likewise
<01571>_.

{by...: Heb. after them}

12:31

Thou shalt not do
<06213> (8799)

so unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_:

for every abomination
<08441>

to the LORD
<03068>_,

which he hateth
<08130> (8804)_,

have they done
<06213> (8804)

unto their gods
<0430>_;

for even their sons
<01121>

and their daughters
<01323>

they have burnt
<08313> (8799)

in the fire
<0784>

to their gods
<0430>_.

{to the: Heb. of the}

12:32

What thing
<01697>

soever I command
<06680> (8764)

you, observe
<08104> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

it: thou shalt not add
<03254> (8686)

thereto, nor diminish
<01639> (8799)

from it.
