Deuteronomy 12 — Context

22

It will be your food, like the gazelle and the roe; the unclean and the clean may take of it.

23

But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh.

24

Do not take it for food but let it be drained out on the earth like water.

25

Do not take it for food; so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, while you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

26

But the holy things which you have, and the offerings of your oaths, you are to take to the place which will be marked out by the Lord:

27

Offering the flesh and the blood of your burned offerings on the altar of the Lord your God; and the blood of your offerings is to be drained out on the altar of the Lord your God, and the flesh will be your food.

28

Take note of all these orders I am giving you and give attention to them, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you for ever, while you do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
