Deuteronomy 12:23-25

EJ2000(i) 23 Only be sure not to eat the blood; for the blood is the soul (or the life), and thou art not to eat the soul with its flesh. 24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. 25 Thou shalt not eat it that it may go well with thee and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
