Deuteronomy 12:16-18
Lexham English Bible

16 Only the blood you must not eat, but on the ground you must pour it like water. 17 You are not allowed to eat in your towns[a] the tithe of your grain and your wine and your olive oil and the firstborn of your herd and your flock and all of your votive gifts that you vowed and your freewill offering and your donations.[b] 18 But only before[c] Yahweh your God you shall eat it, at the place that Yahweh your God will choose,[d] you and your son and your daughter and your slave and your slave woman and the Levite who is in your towns,[e] and you must rejoice before[f] your God in all your undertakings.[g]

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.
