Deuteronomy 12:20-24

20“When the Lord your God expands your territory as he has promised, and you have the urge to eat meat, you may freely eat meat whenever you want.

21It might happen that the designated place of worship—the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to be honored—is a long way from your home. If so, you may butcher any of the cattle, sheep, or goats the Lord has given you, and you may freely eat the meat in your hometown, as I have commanded you.

22Anyone, whether ceremonially clean or unclean, may eat that meat, just as you do now with gazelle and deer.

23But never consume the blood, for the blood is the life, and you must not consume the lifeblood with the meat.

24Instead, pour out the blood on the ground like water.
