New Testament

Deuteronomy 15:21-23 New International Version (NIV)

21. If an animal has a defect, is lame or blind, or has any serious flaw, you must not sacrifice it to the Lord your God.

22. You are to eat it in your own towns. Both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it, as if it were gazelle or deer.

23. But you must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.
