Deuteronomy 12:19-23

Living Bible

¹⁹ (By the way, be very careful not to forget about the Levites. Share with them.)

^20-23 “If, when the Lord enlarges your borders, the central altar is too far away from you, then your flocks and herds may be butchered on your own farms, just as you do now with gazelle and deer. And even persons who are ceremonially defiled may eat them. The only restriction is never to eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the meat.
