Deuteronomy 12:23-25

Brenton(i) 23 Take diligent heed that thou eat no blood, for blood is the life of it; the life shall not be eaten with the flesh. 24 Ye shall not eat it; ye shall pour it out on the ground as water. 25 Thou shalt not eat it, that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee, if thou shalt do that which is good and pleasing before the Lord thy God.
