Leviticus 17:10-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Eating Blood and Carcasses Prohibited
10 “Anyone from the house of Israel or from the foreigners who live among them who eats any blood,(A) I will turn[a] against that person who eats blood and cut him off from his people. 11 For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have appointed it to you to make atonement on the altar for[b] your lives, since it is the lifeblood that makes atonement.(B) 12 Therefore I say to the Israelites: None of you and no foreigner who lives among you may eat blood.
13 “Any Israelite or foreigner living among them, who hunts(C) down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten must drain its blood(D) and cover it with dirt. 14 Since the life of every creature is its blood, I have told the Israelites: You must not eat the blood of any creature,(E) because the life of every creature is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.
15 “Every person, whether the native or the foreigner,(F) who eats an animal that died a natural death or was mauled by wild beasts(G) is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening; then he will be clean. 16 But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, he will bear his punishment.”
