21If the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name is far away from you, then take from your herds and from your flocks which the Lord has given you, as I have said, and have a meal of it in the towns where you may be living.
22It will be your food, like the gazelle and the roe; the unclean and the clean may take of it.
23But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh.
24Do not take it for food but let it be drained out on the earth like water.
25Do not take it for food; so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, while you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
26But the holy things which you have, and the offerings of your oaths, you are to take to the place which will be marked out by the Lord:
27Offering the flesh and the blood of your burned offerings on the altar of the Lord your God; and the blood of your offerings is to be drained out on the altar of the Lord your God, and the flesh will be your food.
