Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Når Herren deres Gud utvider grensene deres, slik Han har lovt dere, og dere sier: ‘La oss spise kjøtt!’ fordi dere lengter etter å spise kjøtt, da kan dere spise så mye kjøtt dere vil. Hvis du bor for langt borte fra det stedet som Herren har valgt ut som bolig for navnet sitt, kan du få spise det hjemme i stedet. Spis det på samme måte som en spiser gaselle og dådyr. Alle kan få spise det. Bare pass på at dere ikke spiser blodet, for livet er i blodet. Du skal helle det ut på jorden som vann.
What Does This Mean?
This verse says that when God gives you more land, and you want to eat meat, you can eat any meat you desire. God is speaking, giving permission and assurance.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a small garden where you grow vegetables. One day, your parents give you a bigger garden, and you say, 'I want to plant some yummy tomatoes!' God is like your parents, and He's saying, 'If you want to eat meat, you can eat any meat you like!'
Historical Background
Moses wrote this to the Israelites around 1250 BCE. They were about to enter the Promised Land, and God was assuring them that they would have plenty of resources, including meat, once they settled there.
Living It Out Today
Today, if you find yourself in a new situation with more opportunities, remember that God has given you permission to enjoy the blessings He provides. Whether it's a new job with better pay or a promotion, embrace the good things God offers.
