Deuteronomy 12:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it upon the ground as water.

¹⁷ You may not eat within your towns the tithe of your grain or of your new wine or of your oil, or the firstlings of your herd or flock, or anything you have vowed, or your freewill offerings, or the offerings from your hand [of garden products].

¹⁸ But you shall eat them before the Lord your God in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, you and your son and your daughter, your manservant and your maidservant, and the Levite that is within your towns; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God in all that you undertake.
