144 - EATING AN UNBLEMISHED FIRSTLING OUTSIDE JERUSALEM
Deuteronomy 12:17 -- “You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain or your new wine or your oil, of the firstlings of your herd or your flock, of any of your offerings which you vow, of your freewill offerings, or of the heave offering of your hand.”
A firstling which a blemish has made invalid may be eaten at any place by either priest or layman.*
