21 If the place which YHVH, your god, will choose to put his name there is too far from you, then you may kill any of your herd or your flock, which YHVH has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your towns as much as you desire.
22 Just as the gazelle or the hart is eaten, so you may eat of it; the unclean and the clean alike may eat of it.
23 Only be sure that you do not eat the blood; for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.
24 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out upon the earth like water.
25 You shall not eat it; that all may go well with you and with your children after you, when you do what is right in the sight of YHVH.
26 But the holy things which are due from you, and your votive offerings, you shall take, and you shall go to the place which YHVH will choose,
27 and offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of YHVH, your god, the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of YHVH, your god, but the flesh you may eat.
28 Be careful to heed all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you for ever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of YHVH, your god,
29 "When YHVH, your god, cuts off before you the nations whom you go in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land,
30 take heed that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods? --that I also may do likewise.'
31 You shall not do so to YHVH, your god, for every abominable thing which YHVH hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
32 "Everything that I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to it or take from it.
