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.”
