Leviticus 17:10-16
Lexham English Bible
10 And if there is anyone[a] from the house of Israel or[b] from the alien who is dwelling in their midst who eats any blood, then[c] I will set my face against the person who eats the blood, and I will cut him off from among his people. 11 Indeed[d] the flesh’s life is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your lives, because it is the blood with the life that makes atonement. 12 Therefore[e] I said to the Israelites,[f] ‘None of you[g] may eat blood, nor[h] may the alien who is dwelling in your midst eat blood.’
13 “And if there is anyone[i] from the Israelites[j] or[k] from the alien who is dwelling in their midst who hunts a wild game animal or a bird that may be eaten, then[l] he shall pour out its blood, and he shall cover it with the soil. 14 Indeed,[m] the life of all flesh, its blood, is in its life, so[n] I said to the Israelites,[o] ‘You may not eat the blood of any flesh, because the life of all flesh is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.’
15 “And if there is any person who eats a dead body or[p] a mangled carcass, whether among the native or[q] among the alien, then[r] he shall wash his garments, and he shall wash himself[s] with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall be clean. 16 But[t] if he does not wash his garments[u] and he does not wash his body, then[v] he shall bear his guilt.”
