Deuteronomy 15:23 In-Context

21 If an animal is crippled or blind or has something else wrong, do not sacrifice it to the Lord your God.
22 But you may eat that animal in your own town. Both clean and unclean people may eat it, as they would eat a gazelle or a deer.
23 But don't eat its blood; pour it out on the ground like water.
