Deuteronomy 12:16-23
16butH7535 you must notH3808 eatH398 the bloodH1818; pourH8210 it onH5921 the groundH776 like waterH4325.
17Within your gatesH8179 you mustH3201 notH3808 eatH398 the titheH4643 of your grainH1715 or new wineH8492 or oilH3323, the firstbornH1060 of your herdsH1241 or flocksH6629, anyH3605 of the offeringsH5088 thatH834 you have vowed to giveH5087, or your freewill offeringsH5071H3027 or special giftsH8641. 18InsteadH3588H518, you must eat themH398 in the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 at the placeH4725 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will chooseH977—youH859, your sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323, your menservantsH5650 and maidservantsH519, and the LeviteH3881 within your gatesH8179. RejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 in allH3605 you doH4916H3027, 19and be carefulH8104 notH6435 to neglectH5800 the LevitesH3881 asH3605H3117 long as you live inH5921 your landH127.
20WhenH3588 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 expandsH7337 your territoryH1366 asH834 He has promisedH1696, and youH5315 craveH183H398 meatH1320 and sayH559, “I want to eatH398 meatH1320,” you may eatH398 itH1320 wheneverH3605 youH5315 wantH185. 21IfH3588 the placeH4725 whereH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 choosesH977 to putH7760 His NameH8034H8033 is too farH7368 from youH4480, then you may slaughterH2076 any of the herdH1241 or flockH6629 HeH3068 has givenH5414 you, asH834 I have commanded youH6680, and you may eatH398 it within your gatesH8179 wheneverH3605 youH5315 wantH185. 22IndeedH389, you may eatH398 it asH834 you would eatH398 a gazelleH6643 or deerH354H3651; bothH3162 the ceremonially uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 may eat itH398. 23OnlyH7535 be sureH2388 notH1115 to eatH398 the bloodH1818, becauseH3588 the bloodH1818 isH1931 the lifeH5315, and you must notH3808 eatH398 the lifeH5315 withH5973 the meatH1320.
