Deuteronomy 12:23
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Only be sure not to eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.
In context
21 If the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His Name is too far from you, then you may slaughter any of the herd or flock He has given you, as I have commanded you, and you may eat it within your gates whenever you want.
22 Indeed, you may eat it as you would eat a gazelle or deer; both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it.
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.
