Leviticus 17:11-13

Revised Geneva Translation

¹¹ ‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood. And I have given it to you to offer upon the Altar, to make an atonement for your souls. For this blood shall make an atonement for the soul.

¹² ‘Therefore, I said to the children of Israel, “None of you shall eat blood. Nor shall the stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.

¹³ “Moreover, whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, takes by hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust.
