Deuteronomy 12:25 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 12:25

Thou shall not eat it, that it may be well with thee, and with
thy children after thee
That they and their posterity might be spared, and continue long, and enjoy much prosperity; for those that eat blood, contrary to this command of God, it is threatened that he would set his face against them, and they should be cut off, ( Leviticus 7:27 ) ( 17:10 ) ,

when thou shall do that which is right in the sight of the Lord;
not only observe this command, but all others.

Deuteronomy 12:25 In-Context

23 Only this: Absolutely no blood. Don't eat the blood. Blood is life; don't eat the life with the meat.
24 Don't eat it; pour it out on the ground like water.
25 Don't eat it; then you'll have a good life, you and your children after you. By all means, do the right thing in God's eyes.
26 And this: Lift high your Holy-Offerings and your Vow-Offerings and bring them to the place God designates.
27 Sacrifice your Absolution-Offerings, the meat and blood, on the Altar of God, your God; pour out the blood of the Absolution-Offering on the Altar of God, your God; then you can go ahead and eat the meat.
