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.”

Leviticus 17
17
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: 3Whatever man there is of the house of Israel who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, 4and hasn’t brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to offer it as an offering to the LORD before the LORD’s tabernacle: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood. That man shall be cut off from amongst his people. 5This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to the LORD. 6The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the LORD’s altar at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to the LORD. 7They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.’
8“You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners amongst them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice, 9and doesn’t bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man shall be cut off from his people.
10“‘Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners amongst them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from amongst his people. 11For the life of the flesh is in the blood. I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life. 12Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, “No person amongst you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst you eat blood.”
13“‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners amongst them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust. 14For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”
15“‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. Then he shall be clean. 16But if he doesn’t wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.’”
