* And LORD spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak to Aaron , and to his sons , and to all the sons of Israel , and say to them , This is the thing which LORD has commanded , saying , * Whatever man there is of the house of Israel , who kills an ox , or lamb , or goat , in the camp , or who kills it outside the camp , * and has not brought it to the door of the tent of meeting , to offer it as an oblation to LORD before the tabernacle of LORD , blood shall be imputed to that man . He has shed blood , and that man shall be cut off from among his people * to the end that the sons of Israel may bring their sacrifices , which they sacrifice in the open field , even that they may bring them to LORD , to the door of the tent of meeting , to the priest , and sacrifice them for sacrifices of p * And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of LORD at the door of the tent of meeting , and burn the fat for a sweet savor to LORD . * And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the he-goats , after which they play the harlot . This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations . * And thou shall say to them , Whatever man there is of the house of Israel , or of the strangers that sojourn among them , who offers a burnt-offering or sacrifice , * and does not bring it to the door of the tent of meeting , to sacrifice it to LORD , that man shall be cut off from his people . * And whatever man there is of the house of Israel , or of the strangers that sojourn among them , who eats any manner of blood , I will set my face against that soul who eats 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 atonement for your souls , for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life . * Therefore I said to the sons of Israel , No soul of you shall eat blood , nor shall any stranger that sojourns among you eat blood . * And whatever man there is of the sons of Israel , or of the strangers that sojourn among them , who takes any beast or bird in hunting that may be eaten , he shall pour out the blood of it , and cover it with dust . * For as to the life of all flesh , the blood of it is with the life of it . Therefore I said to the sons of Israel , Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh , for the life of all flesh is the blood of it . Whoever eats it shall be c * And every soul who eats that which dies 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 evening , then he shall be c * But if he does not wash them , nor bathe his flesh , then he shall bear his iniquity .
