DEUTERONOMY 12:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.”
Nevertheless, you may slaughter your animals in any of your towns and eat as much of the meat as you want, as if it were gazelle or deer — the exception: secular slaughter (shechitah) for food (not sacrifice) may occur locally. This distinction between sacrificial and profane slaughter permits normal meat-eating without requiring pilgrimage for every meal.
