Deuteronomy 12:16-23

16OnlyH7535 ye shall notH3808 eatH398 the bloodH1818; thou shalt pourH8210 it outH8210 uponH5921 the earthH776 as waterH4325.

17Thou mayest notH3808 eatH398 within thy gatesH8179 the titheH4643 of thy corn, or of thy wineH8492, or of thine oilH3323, or the firstlings of thy herdH1241 or of thy flockH6629, norH3808 anyH3605 of thy vowsH5088 whichH834 thou vowest, norH3808 thy freewillH5071 offeringsH5071, norH3808 the heaveH8641 offering of thine handH3027:

18but thou shalt eatH398 them beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy manservant, and thy maidservantH519, and the LeviteH3881 that is within thy gatesH8179: and thou shalt rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in allH3605 that thou puttest thine handH3027 unto.

19TakeH8104 heedH8104 to thyself that thou forsakeH5800 notH6435 the LeviteH3881 as longH3117 as thou livest uponH5921 thy landH127.

20When the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall enlargeH7337 thy borderH1366, as he hath promisedH1696 thee, and thou shalt sayH559, I will eatH398 fleshH1320, becauseH3588 thy soulH5315 desireth to eatH398 fleshH1320; thou mayest eatH398 fleshH1320, afterH3588 allH3605 the desireH5315 of thy soulH5315.

21IfH3588 the placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977 to putH5414 his nameH8034 there be tooH4480 farH7368 from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herdH1241 and of thy flockH6629, whichH834 the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 thee, as I have commandedH6680 thee, and thou shalt eatH398 within thy gatesH8179, afterH4480 allH3605 the desireH5315 of thy soulH5315.

22EvenH3651 as the gazelle and as the hart is eatenH398, soH3651 thou shalt eatH398 thereof: the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889 shall eatH398 thereof alikeH3162.

23OnlyH7535 be sureH2388 that thou eatH398 notH3808 the bloodH1818: for the bloodH1818 is the lifeH5315; and thou shalt notH3808 eatH398 the lifeH5315 with the fleshH1320.
