Verse 24 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.

sondern sollst es auf die Erde gießen wie Wasser.
No la comerás: en tierra la derramarás como agua.
Tu ne le mangeras pas: tu le répandras sur la terre comme de l'eau.
Non mangiarlo; spandilo in terra come acqua.
Não o comerás; na terra o derramarás como água.
你不可吃血,要把它倒在地上,如同倒水一樣。
