Regulations for Profane Slaughter
12:15 On the other hand , you may slaughter and eat meat as you please when the Lord your God blesses you in all your villages . Both the ritually pure and impure may eat it, whether it is a gazelle or an ibex .
12:16 However , you must not eat blood – pour it out on the ground like water .
12:17 You will not be allowed to eat in your villages your tithe of grain , new wine , olive oil , the firstborn of your herd and flock , any votive offerings you have vowed , or your freewill and personal offerings .
12:18 Only in the presence of the Lord your God may you eat these, in the place he chooses . This applies to you , your son , your daughter , your male and female servants , and the Levites in your villages . In that place you will rejoice before the Lord your God in all the output of your labor .
12:19 Be careful not to overlook the Levites as long as you live in the land .
