Deuteronomy 15:23 In-Context

21 But if it has any defect—any serious defect, such as lameness or blindness—you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God;
22 within your towns you may eat it, the unclean and the clean alike, as you would a gazelle or deer.
23 Its blood, however, you must not eat; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.
