And after that, eat the meat that you want in your villages.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

  • Hiligaynon: “If the place that the LORD your (plur.) God will-choose where he will-be-honored is far from you (plur.), you (plur.) can slaughter and eat your (plur.) cows or sheep in your (plur.) own places. And according to what I have-commanded you (plur.), you (plur.) can-eat the animals that the LORD gave you (plur.) as- much-as- you (plur.) -want,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “If the place that Yahweh our God chooses to be the place for you to worship him is far from where you live, you are permitted to kill some of your cattle or sheep that Yahweh has given to you, and you may eat that meat at the places where you live, just like I have told you to do.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
