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

^26 (A)And you shall not eat any blood, either of bird or animal, in any of your places of habitation. ²⁷ Any person who eats any blood, even that person shall be cut off from his people.’”

²⁸ Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁹ “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘He who brings ^(B)the sacrifice of his peace offerings near to Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from the sacrifice of his peace offerings. ³⁰ His own hands are to bring offerings by fire to Yahweh. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the ^(C)breast may be waved as a wave offering before Yahweh. ³¹ And the priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but ^(D)the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons. ³² And you shall give ^(E)the right thigh to the priest as a ^[a]contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. ³³ The one among the sons of Aaron who brings near the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, the right thigh shall be his as his portion. ³⁴ For I have taken ^(F)the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the ^[b]contribution from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as a perpetual statute taken from the sons of Israel.

³⁵ ‘This is ^[c]the share for Aaron and ^[d]the ^(G)share for his sons from the offerings by fire to Yahweh, in that day when he brought them near to minister as priests to Yahweh. ^36 [e]These Yahweh had commanded to be given them from the sons of Israel in the day that He ^(H)anointed them. It is a perpetual statute throughout their generations.’”

³⁷ This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering and ^(I)the ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings, ^38 (J)which Yahweh commanded Moses at Mount Sinai in the day that He commanded the sons of Israel to bring their offerings near to Yahweh in the wilderness of Sinai.

¹⁰ ‘^(A)And any man from the house of Israel, or from the sojourners 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.

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

²³ Only be strong in yourselves ^(A)not to eat the blood, for the blood is the ^[a]life, and you shall not eat the ^[b]life with the flesh.
