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 be sure that you do not eat the blood; for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.
24 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out upon the earth like water.
25 You shall not eat it; that all may go well with you and with your children after you, when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD.
26 But the holy things which are due from you, and your votive offerings, you shall take, and you shall go to the place which the LORD will choose,
27 and offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of the LORD your God; the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the LORD your God, but the flesh you may eat.
