21 If the place the Lord your God chooses to put his name is too far away from you, you may slaughter an animal from the herds or flocks that the Lord has given you. Eat as much as you want in your city. I have commanded you to do this.
22 Eat it as you would eat a gazelle or a deer: Clean and unclean people may eat it together.
23 However, be sure you never eat blood, because blood contains life. Never eat the life with the meat.
24 Never eat blood. Pour it on the ground like water.
25 If you don’t eat blood, things will go well for you and your descendants. You will be doing what the Lord considers right.
26 Take the holy things and the offerings you have vowed to bring, and go to the place the Lord will choose.
27 Sacrifice the meat and the blood of your burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord your God. The blood of your sacrifices is to be poured out beside the altar of the Lord your God, but you may eat the meat.
