Deuteronomy 12:16-18
Good News Translation
16 (A)But you must not eat their blood; you must pour it out on the ground like water. 17 Nothing that you offer to the Lord is to be eaten in the places where you live: neither the tithes of your grain, your wine, or your olive oil, nor the first-born of your cattle and sheep, the gifts that you promise to the Lord, your freewill offerings, or any other offerings. 18 You and your children, together with your servants and the Levites who live in your towns, are to eat these offerings only in the presence of the Lord your God, in the one place of worship chosen by the Lord your God. And you are to be happy there over everything that you have done.

New International Version
16 But you must not eat the blood;(A) pour(B) it out on the ground like water.(C) 17 You must not eat in your own towns the tithe(D) of your grain and new wine and olive oil,(E) or the firstborn of your herds and flocks, or whatever you have vowed to give,(F) or your freewill offerings or special gifts.(G) 18 Instead, you are to eat(H) them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place the Lord your God will choose(I)—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites from your towns—and you are to rejoice(J) before the Lord your God in everything you put your hand to.
