23 but be sure you don’t eat the blood, because the life is in the blood [Gen. 9:4; Lev. 3:17; Acts 15:20, 29]. Don’t eat the life with the meat.
23 Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, (A)for the blood is the life; you may not eat the life with the meat.
23 (A)Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, (B)for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.
