Read in context

Deuteronomy 12:23–27 · Berean Standard Bible

23 Only be sure not to eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.

24 You must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.

25 Do not eat it, so that it may go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD.

26 But you are to take your holy things and your vow offerings and go to the place the LORD will choose.

27 Present the meat and blood of your burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD your God. The blood of your other sacrifices must be poured out beside the altar of the LORD your God, but you may eat the meat.
