Deuteronomy 12:24 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 12:24

Thou shalt not eat it
Neither with the flesh, nor separately:

thou shall pour it upon the earth as water;
as the blood of sacrifices was poured upon the altar, the blood of common flesh was to be poured upon the earth, signifying it was not to be used, and no account to be made of it; (See Gill on Deuteronomy 12:16)

Deuteronomy 12:24 In-Context

22 sicut comeditur caprea et cervus ita vesceris eis et mundus et inmundus in commune vescentur
23 hoc solum cave ne sanguinem comedas sanguis enim eorum pro anima est et idcirco non debes animam comedere cum carnibus
24 sed super terram fundes quasi aquam
25 ut sit tibi bene et filiis tuis post te cum feceris quod placet in conspectu Domini
26 quae autem sanctificaveris et voveris Domino tolles et venies ad locum quem elegerit Dominus
