Deuteronomy 12:16-23

16but you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.

17Within your city gates you may not eat the tenth of your grain, new wine, or fresh oil; the firstborn of your herd or flock; any of your vow offerings that you pledge; your freewill offerings; or your personal contributions.

18You are to eat them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place the Lord your God chooses — you, your son and daughter, your male and female slave, and the Levite who is within your city gates. Rejoice before the Lord your God in everything you do,

19and be careful not to neglect the Levite, as long as you live in your land.

20“When the Lord your God enlarges your territory as he has promised you, and you say, ‘I want to eat meat’ because you have a strong desire to eat meat, you may eat it whenever you want.

21If the place where the Lord your God chooses to put his name is too far from you, you may slaughter any of your herd or flock he has given you, as I have commanded you, and you may eat it within your city gates whenever you want.

22Indeed, you may eat it as the gazelle and deer are eaten; both the clean and the unclean may eat it.

23But don’t eat the blood, since the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.
