Deuteronomy 12:21
"If the place which the Lord your God shall choose, to put his name there, 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."

Commentary
Gill's Exposition
If the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to put his name be too far from thee,.... Or rather "for" (h), or "seeing" the place will be too
far from thee; for it is allowed before that they might kill and eat flesh for common food in their gates, Deu 12:15 . then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock; of thy oxen and of thy sheep, creatures used in sacrifice; but this was no bar to the use of them for common food also: which the Lord hath given thee, as I have commanded thee; Deu 12:15 . and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after; flesh of any sort, lawful to be eaten. (h) "cum", Pagninus, Montanus.
