Deuteronomy 12:15-17

Christian Standard Bible

Slaughtering Animals to Eat

¹⁵ “But whenever you want, you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your city gates,^(A) according to the blessing the Lord your God has given you. Those who are clean or unclean may eat it, as they would a gazelle or deer, ¹⁶ but you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.^{(B) 17} Within your city gates you may not eat the tenth of your grain, new wine, or fresh oil; the firstborn of your herd or flock; any of your vow offerings that you pledge; your freewill offerings; or your personal contributions.^[a]
