Deuteronomy 12:22-24
Contemporary English Version
22 It is the same as eating the meat from a deer or a gazelle that you kill when you go hunting. And in this way, anyone who is unclean and unfit for worship can have some of the meat.[a]
23-24 (A) But don't eat the blood. It is the life of the animal, so let it drain out on the ground before you eat the meat.

Deuteronomy 12:22-24
New International Version
22 Eat them as you would gazelle or deer.(A) Both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat. 23 But be sure you do not eat the blood,(B) because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.(C) 24 You must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.(D)
