New King James Version

Deuteronomy 12:21-26 New King James Version (NKJV)

21. If the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, then you may slaughter from your herd and from your flock which the Lord has given you, just as I have commanded you, and you may eat within your gates as much as your heart desires.

22. Just as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you may eat them; the unclean and the clean alike may eat them.

23. Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life; you may not eat the life with the meat.

24. You shall not eat it; you shall pour it on the earth like water.

25. You shall not eat it, that it may go well with you and your children after you, when you do what is right in the sight of the Lord.

26. Only the holy things which you have, and your vowed offerings, you shall take and go to the place which the Lord chooses.
