Deuteronomy 12:23 in Context — Deuteronomy 12

21 Si le lieu que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, aura choisi pour y placer son nom est éloigné de toi, tu pourras tuer du gros et du menu bétail, comme je te l’ai prescrit, et tu pourras en manger dans tes portes selon ton désir.

22 Tu en mangeras comme on mange de la gazelle et du cerf; celui qui sera impur, et celui qui sera pur en mangeront l’un et l’autre.

23 Seulement, garde-toi de manger le sang, car le sang, c’est l’âme; et tu ne mangeras pas l’âme avec la chair.

24 Tu ne le mangeras pas: tu le répandras sur la terre comme de l’eau.

25 Tu ne le mangeras pas, afin que tu sois heureux, toi et tes enfants après toi, en faisant ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Éternel.
