Deuteronomy 12:20-28
20When Jehovah thy 1God shall enlarge thy border, as he promised thee, and thou say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh, thou mayest eat flesh, according to all the desire of thy soul.
21If the place which Jehovah thy 2God will choose to set his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt slay of thy kine and of thy sheep which Jehovah hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates according to all the desire of thy soul.
22Even as the gazelle and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean alike may eat of them.
23Only, be sure that thou eat not the blood; for the blood is the life, and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh;
24thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water:
25thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
26But thy hallowed things which thou hast, and what thou hast vowed, thou shalt take, and come to the place which Jehovah will choose;
27and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Jehovah thy 3God; and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Jehovah thy 4God, and the flesh shalt thou eat.
28Take heed to hear all these words which I command thee, that it may be well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest what is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy 5God.
