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.
However, you may kill animals and eat meat in any of your towns, whatever you desire, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you. Both ceremonially clean and unclean people may eat it, just like they would eat deer or gazelle.
God is telling the Israelites they can eat meat freely in their towns - it doesn't have to be part of a religious sacrifice, and everyone can enjoy it.
📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from Moses' instructions to the Israelites before entering the Promised Land. Previously, in the wilderness, most meat consumption was connected to sacrificial offerings at the tabernacle. Now that they would be spread across a large land, God was allowing them to eat meat for regular meals without it being a sacrifice, distinguishing between sacred ritual meals and everyday eating.
