^11 (A)For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar ^(B)to make atonement for your souls, ^(C)for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.

⁴ But you shall not eat flesh with its ^(A)life, that is, its blood.

¹³ “Any one also of the people of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who takes in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten shall ^(A)pour out its blood and ^(B)cover it with earth. ¹⁴ For the life of every creature^[a] is its ^(C)blood: its blood is its life.^[b] Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.

^16 (A)Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth like water.

¹⁶ And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a ^(A)food offering with a pleasing aroma. ^(B)All fat is the Lord's. ¹⁷ It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither ^(C)fat nor ^(D)blood.”

⁹ And they sang ^(A)a new song, saying,

²⁸ even as the Son of Man came not to be served but ^(A)to serve, and ^(B)to give his life as a ransom for ^(C)many.”
