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
Christian Standard Bible
Eating Blood and Carcasses Prohibited
10 “Anyone from the house of Israel or from the aliens who reside among them who eats any blood,(A) I will turn[a] against that person who eats blood and cut him off from his people. 11 For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have appointed it to you to make atonement on the altar for[b] your lives, since it is the lifeblood that makes atonement.(B) 12 Therefore I say to the Israelites: None of you and no alien who resides among you may eat blood.
13 “Any Israelite or alien residing among them, who hunts(C) down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten must drain its blood(D) and cover it with dirt. 14 Since the life of every creature is its blood, I have told the Israelites: You are not to eat the blood of any creature,(E) because the life of every creature is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.
15 “Every person, whether the native or the resident alien,(F) who eats an animal that died a natural death or was mauled by wild beasts(G) is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening; then he will be clean. 16 But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, he will bear his iniquity.”
