Deuteronomy 12:23
Compare all
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.

Deuteronomy 12:22-28

Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so shalt thou eat them, etc.—Game when procured in the wilderness had not been required to be brought to the door of the tabernacle. The people were now to be as free in the killing of domestic cattle as of wild animals. The permission to hunt and use venison for food was doubtless a great boon to the Israelites, not only in the wilderness, but on their settlement in Canaan, as the mountainous ranges of Lebanon, Carmel, and Gilead, on which deer abounded in vast numbers, would thus furnish them with a plentiful and luxuriant repast.
