Deuteronomy 12:20-28

20When Yahweh your God enlarges your territory aas He has promised you, and you say, ‘I will eat meat,’ because 1you desire to eat meat, then you may eat meat, 2whatever you desire. 21If the place where Yahweh your God chooses to set His name is too far away from you, then you may sacrifice of your herd and flock which Yahweh has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates 1whatever you desire. 22Just as a gazelle or a deer is eaten, so you will eat it; the unclean and the clean alike may eat of it. 23Only be strong in yourselves anot to eat the blood, for the blood is the 1life, and you shall not eat the 2life with the flesh. 24You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the ground like water. 25You shall not eat it, so that ait may be well with you and your sons after you, for byou will be doing what is right in the sight of Yahweh. 26aOnly your holy things which you may have and your votive offerings, you shall take and go to the place which Yahweh chooses. 27And ayou shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Yahweh your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Yahweh your God, and byou shall eat the flesh.
28Be careful to listen to all these words which I command you, so that ait may be well with you and your sons after you forever, for you will be doing what is good and right in the sight of Yahweh your God.
