Reference for Pesachim 154:5

אמר לך אם כן נכתוב רחמנא הבשר תאכל והדר ודם זבחיך ישפך כדכתיב ברישא (דברים יב, כז) ועשית עולותיך הבשר והדם מאי שנא דאקדמיה לדם זבחיך שמע מינה דם אע"פ שאין בשר ושמע מינה שאין הבשר מותר באכילה עד שיזרק הדם

Now [according to] R'Eliezer too, surely it is written, 'and thou shalt eat the flesh? ' - He can answer you He utilizes that [to teach] that the flesh is not permitted for eating until the blood is sprinkled. If so, say the whole verse comes for this [purpose],then how do we know [that] the blood [is fit] even if there is no flesh? - He can answer you: If so, let the Divine Law [first] write 'thou shalt eat the flesh,' and then, 'and t blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out,' as is written in the beginning [of the verse], 'and thou shalt off thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood? ' Why then does [Scripture] place 'the blood of thy sacrifices' first?
