*
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel Yisra #
el #,
or of the strangers that sojourn among you ,
that eateth any manner of blood ;
I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood ,
and will cut him off from among his people .
*
For the life of the flesh is in the blood :
and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls :
for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul .
*
Therefore I said unto the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
No soul of you shall eat blood ,
neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood .
*
And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
or of the strangers that sojourn among you ,
which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten ;
he shall even pour out the blood thereof ,
and cover it with dust .
*
For it is the life of all flesh ;
the blood of it is for the life thereof :
therefore I said unto the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
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 .
*
And every soul that eateth that which died of itself ,
or that which was torn with beasts ,
whether it be one of your own country ,
or a stranger ,
he shall both wash his clothes ,
and bathe himself in water ,
and be unclean until the even :
then shall he be clean .
