and thy sons, and thy daughters, and thy menservants, and thy maidservants, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD
thy God over all that thou bringest.

And beware lest thou trust the Levites all the days of thy life upon the earth.

And if the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath said unto thee, saying, I will eat flesh, because thy soul lusteth to eat flesh; then eat flesh according to all the desire of thy soul.

And if the place be far from thee, which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there, then kill of thy oxen or of thy sheep, which the LORD hath given thee, as I commanded thee, and eat within thy gates according to all the pleasure of thy soul.

As one eateth a deer or a hart, so mayest thou eat it: both the clean and the unclean may eat it at the same time.

Only take heed that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the soul: therefore shalt thou not eat the soul with the flesh,

But thou shalt pour it upon the earth, as water.

And thou shalt not eat it, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, because thou hast done that which is right in the sight of the LORD.

But if thou wilt sanctify any of thine own, or vow, thou shalt load it, and bring it into the place which the LORD hath mentioned,

And thou shalt offer thy burnt offering of flesh and blood upon the altar of the LORD thy God. The blood of thy sacrifice thou shalt pour upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and shalt eat the flesh thereof.

Observe, and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, that thou hast done that which is right and acceptable in the sight of the LORD thy God.

When the LORD thy God shall cut off the heathen from before thee, and thou shalt come to possess them, and shalt possess them, and shalt dwell in their land, 30. Take heed lest thou fall into the snare after them, after they are destroyed from before thee, and ask not after their gods, saying, As these nations have served their gods, so will I do.

Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for they have done unto their gods all that is abomination to the LORD, and that he hateth: for they have burned their sons and their daughters with fire unto their gods.

All things whatsoever I command you, that shall ye observe to do. You shall not add to it, nor take away from it.
(Deuteronomy)
Chapter 13
Punishment of false prophets, deceivers and seducers.

if a prophet or a dreamer among you will arise and give you a sign or a miracle, 2. And the sign or the miracle cometh, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which ye know not, and serve them:

Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of such a prophet, or of such a dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God doth tempt you, that he may know whether ye love him with all your heart, and with all your soul.

For ye shall follow the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and serve him, and cleave unto him.

But the prophet, or the dreamer of dreams, shall die, because he hath taught you to fall away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, and deceived you out of the way; whom the LORD your God commanded to walk in, that thou mightest put away evil from among you.

If thy brother thy mother’s son, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the woman that is in thine arms,
or thy friend that is like unto thy heart, persuade thee privily, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou knowest not, nor thy fathers,

Which are among the nations round about you, whether they be near thee or far off, from one end of the earth even unto the other:

Then grant not, neither obey him. Neither let thine eye spare him, neither have mercy on him, nor hide him,

But thou shalt slay him. And thine hand shall be first upon him to slay him, and afterward the hand of all the people.

He shall be stoned to death, because he hath seduced thee from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage, 11. That all Israel may hear, and fear; and that there be no more such evil among you.

When thou shalt hear of any city which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell therein, that it shall be said:

Some of the children of Belial are gone out from among thee, and have deceived the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye know not, 14. Then shalt thou diligently seek, and search, and inquire. And if the truth be found, that it is certain that the abomination is done among you,

Then shalt thou smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroy them, and all that is therein, and their cattle with the edge of the sword.

And thou shalt gather all the spoil thereof into the midst of the streets, and burn them with fire, both the city and all the spoil thereof together, unto the LORD thy God; and it shall lie in a heap for ever, and never be built.

And let none of the curse be upon thy hand, that the LORD may turn away the fierceness of his wrath, and give thee mercy, and have compassion on thee, and multiply thee, as he sware unto thy fathers,

Because thou hast obeyed the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments, which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
(Deuteronomy)

The swine, though he cleave the hoof, yet chew the cud not, shall be unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat their flesh, neither shall ye touch their carcase.

Thou shalt set apart tithes every year of all the increase of thy seed which cometh out of thy field;

And thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God in the place which he hath named, that his name may dwell there: of the tenth of thy corn, and of thy wine, and of thy oil, and of the firstborn of thy oxen and of thy sheep; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God all the days of thy life.

But if the way be too much for thee, that thou canst not carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which the LORD thy God hath chosen to make his name dwell there (for the LORD thy God hath blessed thee),

Give it for money, and take the money in thine hand, and go into the place which the LORD
thy God hath chosen,

And give money for all that thy soul lusteth after, whether it be oxen, or sheep, or wine, or strong drink, or any thing that thy soul desireth. And there eat before the LORD thy God, and be merry, thou and thy house.

And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not leave him, because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

For three years thou shalt set apart all the tithes of thine
