¹⁵ Only you may put to death animals, such as the gazelle or the roe, for your food in any of your towns, at the desire of your soul, in keeping with the blessing of the Lord your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may take of it.

¹⁶ But you may not take the blood for food, it is to be drained out on the earth like water.

²¹ If the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name is far away from you, then take from your herds and from your flocks which the Lord has given you, as I have said, and have a meal of it in the towns where you may be living.

²² It will be your food, like the gazelle and the roe; the unclean and the clean may take of it.
