If the place Yahweh your God chooses for his name is too far from you, you may slaughter any of the herd or flock Yahweh has given you, as I have commanded you, and eat within your own gates, whenever you wish.
In context
19Be careful not to neglect the Levite as long as you live in your land. 20When Yahweh your God enlarges your territory, as he has promised you, and you say, “I want to eat meat,” because you crave it, you may eat meat whenever you wish. 21If the place Yahweh your God chooses for his name is too far from you, you may slaughter any of the herd or flock Yahweh has given you, as I have commanded you, and eat within your own gates, whenever you wish. 22Eat it just as you would eat gazelle or deer; the unclean and the clean may eat it alike. 23Only be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the flesh.
