Leviticus 17:10-16
New American Standard Bible 1995
10 ‘(A)And any man from the house of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, who eats any blood, (B)I will set My face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For (C)the [a]life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for (D)it is the blood by reason of the [b]life that makes atonement.’ 12 Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘No person among you may eat blood, nor may any alien who sojourns among you eat blood.’ 13 So when any man from the sons of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, [c]in hunting catches a beast or a bird which may be eaten, (E)he shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth.
14 “(F)For as for the [d]life of all flesh, its blood is identified with its [e]life. Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘You are not to eat the blood of any flesh, for the [f]life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off.’ 15 (G)When any person eats an animal which dies or is torn by beasts, whether he is a native or an alien, he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening; then he will become clean. 16 But if he does not wash them or bathe his body, then (H)he shall bear his [g]guilt.”
