Deuteronomy 15:20-22
GOD’S WORD Translation
20 Every year you and your family must eat these animals in the presence of the Lord your God in the place the Lord will choose. 21 But if an animal is lame or blind or has any other serious defect—never sacrifice it to the Lord your God. 22 Eat it in your city. Clean and unclean [a] people may eat them together as if they were eating a gazelle or a deer.
