You shall not eat it; you shall pour it on the earth as water.

You shall not eat it in order that it may be well with you and with your sons after you, when you do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah.

Only, your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take up and shall go to the place which Jehovah shall choose.

And you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Jehovah your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out by the altar of Jehovah your God; and you shall eat the flesh.

Take heed to listen to all these Words which I am commanding you, in order that it may be well with you and with your sons after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah your God.
