19 “(A)You shall set apart as holy to Yahweh your God all the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock; you shall not work with the firstborn of your herd nor shear the firstborn of your flock. 20 (B)You and your household shall eat it every year before Yahweh your God in the place which Yahweh chooses. 21 (C)But if it has any defect, such as lameness or blindness, or any serious defect, you shall not sacrifice it to Yahweh your God. 22 You shall eat it within your gates; (D)the unclean and the clean alike may eat it, as (E)a gazelle or a deer. 23 Only (F)you shall not eat its blood; you are to pour it out on the ground like water.

Deuteronomy 15:19-23
International Standard Version
Offering the Firstborn Male Animals
19 “Set apart for the Lord your God every firstborn male among your herd and flock. You are not to put the firstborn of your ox to work or shear the firstborn of your flock. 20 Instead, in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your household are to eat them every year at the place the Lord will choose. 21 If it has a blemish—lameness, blindness, or any kind of defect—you must not sacrifice it to the Lord your God. 22 In your cities,[a] both the unclean and the clean together are to eat it together,[b] as the gazelle and the deer, 23 but you are not to eat its blood. Pour it on the ground like water.”
