Leviticus:17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto Aaron ,
and unto his sons ,
and unto all the children of Israel Yisra #
el #,
and say unto them ;
This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded ,
saying ,
*
What man soever there be of the house of Israel Yisra #
el #,
that killeth an ox ,
or lamb ,
or goat ,
in the camp ,
or that killeth it out of the camp ,
*
And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #
ed #,
to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD ;
blood shall be imputed unto that man ;
he hath shed blood ;
and that man shall be cut off from among his people :
*
To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices ,
which they offer in the open field ,
even that they may bring them unto the LORD ,
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #
ed #,
unto the priest ,
and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD .
*
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #
ed #,
and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD .
*
And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils sa #
iyr #,
after whom they have gone a whoring .
This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations .
*
And thou shalt say unto them ,
Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel Yisra #
el #,
or of the strangers which sojourn among you ,
that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice ,
*
And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #
ed #,
to offer it unto the LORD ;
even that man shall be cut off from among his people .
*
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 .
*
But if he wash them not ,
nor bathe his flesh ;
then he shall bear his iniquity .
