Deuteronomy 12:24
Verse 24 of 32. The 12th of 34 chapters in Deuteronomy, in The Law.
20When the LORD your God enlarges your border, as he has promised you, and you say, “I want to eat meat,” because your soul desires to eat meat, you may eat meat, after all the desire of your soul.
21If the place which the LORD your God shall choose to put his name is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which the LORD has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul.
22Even as the gazelle and as the deer is eaten, so you shall eat of it. The unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.
23Only be sure that you don’t eat the blood; for the blood is the life. You shall not eat the life with the meat.
24You shall not eat it. You shall pour it out on the earth like water.
25You shall not eat it, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, when you do that which is right in the LORD’s eyes.
26Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take and go to the place which the LORD shall choose.
27You shall offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on the LORD your God’s altar. The blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the LORD your God’s altar, and you shall eat the meat.
28Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the LORD your God’s eyes.
