Deuteronomy12:20
20 When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border , as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh; (because thy soul longeth to eat flesh) thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
Which will make it inconvenient and impossible to do what now thou dost and because of the narrow bounds of thy camp canst conveniently do, to wit, to bring all the cattel thou usest to the Tabernacle, which it seems probable they did to prevent their eating of blood. Compare Levit. 17. 3. 1 Sam. 14. 34.
Marginal references: Gen. 28. 14. [illegible: 1 word]. 19. 8.
