21. The Lord your God will choose a special place. He will put his Name there. But suppose it's too far away for you to go to it. Then you can kill animals from the herds and flocks the Lord has given you. Do it just as I have commanded you. In your own towns you can eat as much of the meat as you want to.
22. Eat it as you would eat antelope or deer meat. Those who are "clean" and those who are not can eat it.
23. But be sure you don't eat meat that still has blood in it. The blood is the animal's life. So you must not eat the life along with the meat.
24. You must not eat the blood. Pour it out on the ground like water.
25. Don't eat it. Then things will go well with you and your children after you. You will be doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
