Deuteronomy 12:21 in Context — Deuteronomy 12
19 Aussi longtemps que tu vivras dans ton pays, garde-toi de délaisser le Lévite.
20 Lorsque l’Éternel, ton Dieu, aura élargi tes frontières, comme il te l’a promis, et que le désir de manger de la viande te fera dire: Je voudrais manger de la viande! Tu pourras en manger, selon ton désir.
21 Si le lieu que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, aura choisi pour y placer son nom est éloigné de toi, tu pourras tuer du gros et du menu bétail, comme je te l’ai prescrit, et tu pourras en manger dans tes portes selon ton désir.
22 Tu en mangeras comme on mange de la gazelle et du cerf; celui qui sera impur, et celui qui sera pur en mangeront l’un et l’autre.
23 Seulement, garde-toi de manger le sang, car le sang, c’est l’âme; et tu ne mangeras pas l’âme avec la chair.
