Deuteronomy 12:16
Compare all
14 but in the place which the Lord chooses, in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.
15 “However, ayou may slaughter and eat meat within all your gates, whatever your heart desires, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you; bthe unclean and the clean may eat of it, cof the gazelle and the deer alike.  
16 aOnly you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it on the earth like water.  
17 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain or your new wine or your oil, of the firstborn of your herd or your flock, of any of your offerings which you vow, of your freewill offerings, or of the1 heave offering of your hand.  
18 But you must eat them before the Lord your God in the place which the Lord your God chooses, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God in1 all to which you put your hands.  
19 Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.  
20 “When the Lord your God aenlarges your border as He has promised you, and you say, ‘Let me eat meat,’ because you long to eat meat, you may eat as much meat as your heart desires.  
21 If the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from ayou, then you may slaughter from your herd and from your flock which the Lord has given you, just as I have commanded you, and you may eat within your gates as much as your heart desires.  
22 Just as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you may eat them; the unclean and the clean alike may eat them.
23 Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, afor the blood is the life; you may not eat the life with the meat.  
24 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it on the earth like water.
25 You shall not eat it, athat it may go well with you and your children after you, bwhen you do what is right in the sight of the Lord.  
26 Only the aholy things which you have, and your vowed offerings, you shall take and go to the place which the Lord chooses.  
27 And ayou shall offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on the altar of the Lord your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the Lord your God, and you shall eat the meat.
