Deuteronomy 12:20-25
20When Yhwh thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul desires. 21If the place which Yhwh thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which Yhwh hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul desires. 22Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike. 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.1 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 that which is right in the sight of Yhwh.
