26 (A)Only your holy things which you may have and your vowed offerings, you shall take and go to the place which the Lord chooses. 27 And (B)you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of the Lord your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the Lord your God, and (C)you shall eat the flesh.

28 “Be careful and listen to all these words which I am commanding you, so that (D)it may go well for you and your sons after you forever, for you will be doing what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.

The blood of your sacrifices must be poured beside the altar of the Lord your God, but you may eat(C) the meat. 28 Be careful to obey all these regulations I am giving you, so that it may always go well(D) with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

29 The Lord your God will cut off(E) before you the nations you are about to invade and dispossess. But when you have driven them out and settled in their land,(F) 30 and after they have been destroyed before you, be careful not to be ensnared(G) by inquiring about their gods, saying, “How do these nations serve their gods? We will do the same.”(H) 31 You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates.(I) They even burn their sons(J) and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.(K)
