Deuteronomy 12:23 in Context — Deuteronomy 12

21 Quando estiver longe de ti o lugar que o SENHOR teu Deus houver escolhido, para pôr ali seu nome, matarás de tuas vacas e de tuas ovelhas, que o SENHOR te houver dado, como te mandei eu, e comerás em tuas portas segundo tudo o que desejar tua alma.

22 O mesmo que se come o corço e o cervo, assim as comerás: o impuro e o limpo comerão também delas.

23 Somente que te esforces a não comer sangue: porque o sangue é a alma; e não hás de comer a alma juntamente com sua carne.

24 Não o comerás: em terra o derramarás como água.

25 Não comerás dele; para que vá bem a ti, e a teus filhos depois de ti, quando fizeres o correto aos olhos do SENHOR.
