Deuteronomy 12:20-24

20“WhenH3588 the LordH3068 your GodH430 extendsH7337 your borderH1366 1as He has 2promisedH1696 you, and you sayH559, ‘I will eatH398 meatH1320,’ becauseH3588 3you desireH183 to eatH398 meatH1320, then you may eatH398 meatH1320, 4whateverH3605 you desireH185.

21IfH3588 the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 the LordH3068 your GodH430 choosesH977 to putH7760 His nameH8034 isH7368 tooH4480 farH7368 from you, then you may slaughterH2076 animals from your herdH1241 and flockH6629 whichH834 the LordH3068 has givenH5414 you, as I have commandedH6680 you; and you may eatH398 within your gatesH8179 5whateverH3605 you desireH185.

22JustH389H3512 as a gazelleH6643 or a deerH354 is eatenH398, soH3651 you may eatH398 it; the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 alikeH3164 may eatH398 it.

23OnlyH7534 beH2388 sureH2388 6not to eatH398 the bloodH1818, for the bloodH1818 is the 7lifeH5315, and you shall not eatH398 the 8lifeH5315 with the fleshH1320.

24You shall not eatH398 it; you shall pourH8210 it outH8210 on the groundH776 like waterH4325.
