Verse 16 is found in chapter 12 of Deuteronomy. The legislation permits eating meat in the cities but distinguishes ordinary consumption from cultic sacrifice. Blood must not be eaten because it represents life and belongs to God. The passage simultaneously regulates food, sacrifice, and respect for life, preventing everyday practices from becoming separated from awareness of divine holiness.
