Leviticus 17:11-13

Legacy Standard Bible

¹¹ For ^(A)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 ^(B)it is the blood that makes atonement by the ^[b]life.’ ¹² Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘No person among you may eat blood, and no sojourner who sojourns among you may eat blood.’ ¹³ So any man from the sons of Israel, or from the sojourners who sojourn among them, who in hunting catches a beast or a bird which may be eaten, ^(C)shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth.
