You shall rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God, along with your sons, daughters, male and female servants, and the Levites in your villages(since they have no allotment or inheritance with you).
Make sure you do not offer burnt offerings in any place you wish,
for you may do so only in the place the LORD chooses in one of your tribal areas– there you may do everything I am commanding you.
Regulations for Profane Slaughter On the other hand, you may slaughter and eat meat as you please when the LORD your God blesses you in all your villages. Both the ritually pure and impure may eat it, whether it is a gazelle or an ibex.
However, you must not eat blood– pour it out on the ground like water.
