* And whatever man of the children of Israel , or of the strangers abiding among you , shall eat any blood , I will even set my face against that soul that eats blood , and will destroy it from its people . * For the life of flesh is its blood , and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls ; for its blood shall make atonement for the soul . * Therefore I said to the children of Israel , No soul of you shall eat blood , and the stranger that abides among you shall not eat blood . * And whatever man of the children of Israel , or of the strangers abiding among you shall take any animal in hunting , beast , or bird , which is eaten , then shall he pour out the blood , and cover it in the dust . * For the blood of all flesh is its life ; and I said to the children of Israel , Ye shall not eat the blood of any flesh , for the life of all flesh is its blood : every one that eats it shall be destroyed . * And every soul which eats that which has died of itself , or is taken of beasts , either among the natives or among the strangers , shall wash his garments , and bathe himself in water , and shall be unclean until evening : then shall he be clean . * But if he do not wash his garments , and do not bathe his body in water , then shall he bear his iniquity .
