Context of Deuteronomy 12:25

23However, by no means eat the blood, for the blood is life itself – you must not eat the life with the meat! 24You must not eat it! You must pour it out on the ground like water. You must not eat it so that it may go well with you and your children after you; you will be doing what is right in the Lord’s sight. 26Only the holy things and votive offerings that belong to you, you must pick up and take to the place the Lord will choose. 27You must offer your burnt offerings, both meat and blood, on the altar of the Lord your God; the blood of your other sacrifices you must pour out on his altar while you eat the meat.
