21 It might happen that the designated place of worship—the place the lord your God chooses for his name to be honored—is a long way from your home. If so, you may butcher any of the cattle, sheep, or goats the lord has given you, and you may freely eat the meat in your hometown, as I have commanded you.
22 Anyone, whether ceremonially clean or unclean, may eat that meat, just as you do now with gazelle and deer.
23 But never consume the blood, for the blood is the life, and you must not consume the lifeblood with the meat.
24 Instead, pour out the blood on the ground like water.
25 Do not consume the blood, so that all may go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what pleases the lord.
26 “Take your sacred gifts and your offerings given to fulfill a vow to the place the lord chooses.
27 You must offer the meat and blood of your burnt offerings on the altar of the lord your God. The blood of your other sacrifices must be poured out on the altar of the lord your God, but you may eat the meat.
