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 but be sure you don't eat the blood, because the life is in the blood. Don't eat the life with the meat.
24 Don't eat the blood, but pour it out on the ground like water.
25 If you don't eat it, things will go well for you and your children, because you will be doing what the Lord says is right.
26 Take your holy things and the things you have promised to give, and go to the place the Lord will choose.
27 Present your burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord your God, both the meat and the blood. The blood of your sacrifices should be poured beside the altar of the Lord your God, but you may eat the meat.
