If the place which the LORD your God shall choose to put his name is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which the LORD has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.

તમારા ઈશ્વર યહોવાહે પોતાના નામ માટે પસંદ કરેલું સ્થળ જો બહુ દૂર હોય તો જેમ યહોવાહે તમને આજ્ઞા આપી છે તેમ, તમારાં ઘેટાંબકરાં તથા અન્ય જાનવર કે જે યહોવાહે તમને આપ્યાં છે તે કાપવાં અને તમારી ઇચ્છા થાય ત્યાં સુધી તમારે ઘરે ખાવાં.
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण १२:२१
जो स्थान तेरा परमेश्वर यहोवा अपना नाम बनाए रखने के लिये चुन ले वह यदि तुझ से बहुत दूर हो, तो जो गाय-बैल भेड़-बकरी यहोवा ने तुझे दी हों, उनमें से जो कुछ तेरा जी चाहे, उसे मेरी आज्ञा के अनुसार मारकर अपने फाटकों के भीतर खा सकेगा। (लैव्य. 14:24)

In context

19Be careful that you don’t forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.

20When the LORD your God enlarges your border, as he has promised you, and you say, “I want to eat meat,” because your soul desires to eat meat, you may eat meat, after all the desire of your soul.

21If the place which the LORD your God shall choose to put his name is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which the LORD has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.

22Even as the gazelle and as the deer is eaten, so you shall eat of it. The unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.

23Only be sure that you don’t eat the blood; for the blood is the life. You shall not eat the life with the meat.
