Leviticus 17:10-14
10 ‘ aAnd anyone from the house of Israel, or from the strangers who reside among them, who eats any blood, bI will set My face against that person who eats the blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11For cthe ▼▼Lit soul
life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for eit is the blood by reason of the ▼▼Lit soul
life that makes atonement.’ 12Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘No person among you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who resides among you eat blood.’ 13So when anyone from the sons of Israel, or from the strangers who reside among them, ▼▼Lit who hunts game, animal
while hunting catches an animal or a bird which may be eaten, hhe shall pour out its blood and cover it with dirt. 14 “ iFor as for the ▼▼Lit soul
life of all flesh, its blood is identified with its ▼▼Lit soul
life. Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘You are not to eat the blood of any flesh, for the ▼▼Lit soul
life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off.’
