Deuteronomy 12:20-27 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

20. When Jehovah thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he promised thee, and thou say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh, thou mayest eat flesh, according to all the desire of thy soul.

21. If the place which Jehovah thy God will choose to set his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt slay of thy kine and of thy sheep which Jehovah hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates according to all the desire of thy soul.

22. Even as the gazelle and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean alike may eat of them.

23. Only, be sure that thou eat not the blood; for the blood is the life, and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh;

24. thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water:

25. thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah.

26. But thy hallowed things which thou hast, and what thou hast vowed, thou shalt take, and come to the place which Jehovah will choose;

27. and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Jehovah thy God and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Jehovah thy God and the flesh shalt thou eat.
