13. Be careful not to sacrifice your burnt offerings in any place you like,
14. but offer them in the place which the Lord chooses in one of your tribal territories; there you shall do what I command you.
15. However, in any of your communities you may slaughter and eat meat freely, according to the blessing that the Lord, your God, has given you; the unclean as well as the clean may eat it, as they do the gazelle or the deer.
16. Only, you shall not eat of the blood, but must pour it out on the ground like water.
17. Moreover, you may not, in your own communities, partake of your tithe of grain or wine or oil, of the firstborn of your herd or flock, of any offering you have vowed, of your voluntary offerings, or of your personal contributions.
18. These you must eat in the presence of the Lord, your God, in the place that the Lord, your God, chooses, along with your son and daughter, your male and female slave, and the Levite within your gates; and there, in the presence of the Lord, you shall rejoice in all your undertakings.
