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
New King James Version
10 (A)‘And whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, 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. 11 For the (C)life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar (D)to make atonement for your souls; for (E)it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’ 12 Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘No one among you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger who dwells among you eat blood.’
13 “Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who (F)hunts and catches any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall (G)pour out its blood and (H)cover it with dust; 14 (I)for it is the life of all flesh. Its blood sustains its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.’
15 (J)“And every person who eats what died naturally or what was torn by beasts, whether he is a native of your own country or a stranger, (K)he shall both wash his clothes and (L)bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. Then he shall be clean. 16 But if he does not wash them or bathe his body, then (M)he shall bear his [a]guilt.”
