Deuteronomy 12:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 If the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to put his Name there, be far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy bullocks, and of thy sheep which the Lord hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates, whatsoever thine heart desireth.
22 But as the roebuck, and the hart is eaten, so shalt thou eat them: both the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
23 Only be [a]sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood [b]is the life, and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
