Leviticus 17
17
1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, 3What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it without the camp, 4and hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblation unto Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah: blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people: 5to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them unto Jehovah, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings unto Jehovah. 6And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto Jehovah. 7And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto the he-goats, after which they play the harlot. This shall be a statute forever unto them throughout their generations.
8And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or sacrifice, 9and bringeth it not unto the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it unto Jehovah; that man shall be cut off from his people.
10And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11For 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 maketh atonement by reason of the life. 12Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who taketh in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
14For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all one with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, 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. 15And every soul that eateth that which dieth 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 even: then shall he be clean. 16But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.

The Place of Sacrifice
1Then#Or “And” Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites,#Literally “sons/children of Israel” and you shall say to them, ‘This is the word that Yahweh has commanded, saying, 3“Any man#Literally “A man a man” from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox or a sheep or a goat in the camp or who slaughters it outside the camp#Literally “from an outside place of the camp” 4and he does not bring it to the tent of assembly’s entrance to present an offering to Yahweh before#Literally “to the faces of” Yahweh’s tabernacle, then#Or “and” that man shall be accounted bloodguilty—he has poured out blood, and that man shall be cut off from the midst of his people. 5This is so that the Israelites#Literally “sons/children of Israel” may bring their sacrifices that they are sacrificing in the open field#Literally “on the faces of the field” and bring#Or “they shall bring” them for Yahweh to the tent of assembly’s entrance to the priest, and they shall sacrifice fellowship offerings for Yahweh with them. 6And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on Yahweh’s altar at the tent of assembly’s entrance, and he shall burn#Literally “turn into smoke” the fat as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. 7And they may no longer sacrifice#Literally “not they may sacrifice again” their sacrifices to the goat-idols after which they were prostituting. This is a lasting statute#Literally “a statute of eternity” or “a statute of long duration” for them throughout#Literally “to” their generations.” ’
Instructions Against Eating Blood
8“And you shall say to them, ‘if there is anyone#Literally “A man a man” from the house of Israel or#Or “and” from the alien who dwells in their midst who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice 9and he does not bring it to the tent of assembly’s entrance to sacrifice#Literally “do” or “make” it for Yahweh, then#Or “and” that man shall be cut off from his people. 10And if there is anyone#Literally “a man a man” from the house of Israel or#Or “and” from the alien who is dwelling in their midst who eats any blood, then#Or “and” I will set my face against the person who eats the blood, and I will cut him off from among his people. 11Indeed#Or “Because” the flesh’s life is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your lives, because it is the blood with the life that makes atonement. 12Therefore#Literally “Unto thus” I said to the Israelites,#Literally “sons/children of Israel” ‘None of you#Literally “all of individual self from you not” may eat blood, nor#Or “and not” may the alien who is dwelling in your midst eat blood.’
13“And if there is anyone#Literally “a man a man” from the Israelites#Literally “sons/children of Israel” or#Or “and” from the alien who is dwelling in their midst who hunts a wild game animal or a bird that may be eaten, then#Or “and” he shall pour out its blood, and he shall cover it with the soil. 14Indeed,#Or “Because” the life of all flesh, its blood, is in its life, so#Or “and” I said to the Israelites,#Literally “sons/children of Israel” ‘You may not eat the blood of any flesh, because the life of all flesh is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.’
15“And if there is any person who eats a dead body or#Or “and” a mangled carcass, whether among the native or#Or “and” among the alien, then#Or “and” he shall wash his garments, and he shall wash himself#The direct object is supplied from context in the English translation with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall be clean. 16But#Or “And” if he does not wash his garments#The direct object is supplied from context in the English translation and he does not wash his body, then#Or “and” he shall bear his guilt.”
