14 but in the place which the LORD [thy God] shall choose in one of thy tribes, thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and thou shalt do all that I command thee.

15 And when thy soul willeth, thou shalt kill it, and eat it, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God, the flesh which he hath given thee, in all thy gates: the unclean and the clean may eat it as a gazelle and as a deer;

16 Only you shall not eat blood: you shall pour it out on the ground as water.

17 Thou shalt not eat in thy gates the tithes of thy bread, and thy wine, and thy oil, and the firstlings of thy herds, and thy flocks, and all thy vows which thou hast promised, and thy voluntary offerings, and the lifting up of thy hands;

18 But thou shalt eat these things before the LORD thy God, in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, which is within thy gates, and thou shalt rejoice in the sight of the LORD thy God in all that hath been done by thy hands.

19 See that you do not forsake the Levite all the days [that you live] in your land.

20 And when the LORD thy God hath enlarged thy boundaries, as he hath said unto thee, and thou shalt say, 'I shall eat flesh,' because thy soul desires to eat flesh, then thou shalt eat flesh according to thy soul's desire.

21 And if the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to dwell there be far from thee, thou shalt kill from thy herd and flock, which the LORD [thy God] hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat within thy gates, according to the desire of thy soul;

22 but eat them as they eat chamois and deer; the unclean as well as the clean [have] them may eat these things;

23 Only take strict care that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the soul: you shall not eat the soul with the flesh.

24 Thou shalt not eat it: thou shalt pour it out on the ground as water;

25 Thou shalt not eat it, that it may be good for thee, and for thy children after thee, if thou wilt do what is just in the sight of the LORD [thy God].

26 Only thy holy things, which thou shalt have, and thy vows, and thou shalt come to the place which the Lord [thy God, that his name may be called upon there];

27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, flesh and blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God. but the blood of thy other sacrifices shall be shed at the altar of the LORD thy God, and the flesh thou shalt thou eat.
