Leviticus 17:14-16

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁴ For the life of all flesh is its blood. It is its life. Therefore I have said to the Israelites: You shall not eat the blood from any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it will be cut off.

¹⁵ If any person, whether native or alien, eats anything that has died naturally or has been torn by wild animals, he shall wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until sunset. Then he shall be clean. ¹⁶ But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe his body, he shall bear his guilt.
