Deuteronomy 12:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ However, if you just want to have meat for a meal, if the Eternal your God has blessed you and you can afford it, you can do that in your own towns. Slaughter the animals and eat them there. It’s not a sacred meal, so people don’t need to be ritually pure to eat it, and it can be a gazelle or a deer. ¹⁶ But don’t consume any of the blood; pour it out on the ground like water as you would for any slaughter or sacrifice. ¹⁷ And remember you still can’t eat any of the special offerings in your own towns: tithes of grain, new wine, and olive oil; firstborn animals from your herds and flocks, any payments to fulfill vows, or freewill gifts and uplifted offerings.
