Leviticus 17:10-16
Lexham English Bible
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.”

Leviticus 17:10-16
American Standard Version
10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the [a]life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the [b]life. 12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who taketh in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
14 For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. 15 And every soul that eateth [c]that which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean. 16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.
