Context of Deuteronomy 12:27
25Do not eat it! Then you will be doing what the Lord says is right. You will enjoy a happy life and so will your children. 26It is only the holy things that you must take to the place that the Lord will choose for himself. Those are the gifts and sacrifices that you are offering to him. Offer the meat and the blood of your burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord your God. For the other sacrifices, you must pour out the blood beside the altar. But you may eat the meat. 28Be careful to obey all these commands that I am giving to you. Then you will be doing things that the Lord your God says are good and right. You and your children will enjoy a happy life. 29When you go into the land where the other nations live, the Lord your God will remove them. You will take their land and you will live on it.
