## Deuteronomy 12:22 in Context (Verses 19–25 KJV)
 
 [19 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/12/19) Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/12/20) ¶ When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/12/21) If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/12/22) Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat *of* them alike.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/12/23) Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood *is* the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/12/24) Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/12/25) Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do *that which is* right in the sight of the LORD.
