24 You are not to eat it—you are to pour it out on the ground like water.
25 You are not to eat it, so that it may go well with you and your children after you, when you do what is right in Adonai’s eyes.
26 “Only the holy things and vow offerings that are yours are you to take and go to the place that Adonai chooses.
27 You are to offer your burnt offerings—the flesh and the blood—on the altar of Adonai your God. The blood of your sacrifices is to be poured out on the altar of Adonai your God, but the meat you are to eat.
28 Take care and listen to all these words that I am commanding you, so that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the eyes of Adonai your God.
29 “When Adonai your God cuts off before you the nations that you are going in to dispossess, when you have dispossessed them and settled in their land,
30 be careful not to be trapped into imitating them after they have been destroyed before you. Do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods? I will do the same.’
