Deuteronomy 12:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ But in the place which the Lord shall choose in one of thy tribes shalt thou offer sacrifices. and shalt do all that I command thee.

¹⁵ But if thou desirest to eat, and the eating of flesh delight thee, kill, and eat according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he hath given thee, in thy cities: whether it be unclean, that is to say, having blemish or defect: or clean, that is to say, sound and without blemish, such as may be offered, as the roe, and the hart, shalt thou eat it:

¹⁶ Only the blood thou shalt not eat, but thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water.
