1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, say­ing, 2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the chil­dren of Is­rael, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath com­mand­ed, say­ing, 3 What man so­ev­er there be of the house of Is­rael, that kil­leth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that kil­leth it out of the camp, 4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the taber­na­cle of the con­gre­ga­tion, 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: 5 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, unto the priest, and of­fer them for peace of­fer­ings unto the LORD. 6 And the priest shall sprin­kle the blood upon the al­tar of the LORD at the door of the taber­na­cle of the con­gre­ga­tion, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD. 7 And they shall no more of­fer their sac­ri­fices unto dev­ils, af­ter whom they have gone a whor­ing. This shall be a statute for ever unto them through­out their gen­er­a­tions. 8 And thou shalt say unto them, What­so­ev­er man there be of the house of Is­rael, or of the strangers which so­journ among you, that of­fer­eth a burnt of­fer­ing or sac­ri­fice, 9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the taber­na­cle of the con­gre­ga­tion, to of­fer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his peo­ple. 10 And what­so­ev­er man there be of the house of Is­rael, 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. 11 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. 12 There­fore I said unto the chil­dren of Is­rael, No soul of you shall eat blood, nei­ther shall any stranger that so­jour­neth among you eat blood. 13 And what­so­ev­er man there be of the chil­dren of Is­rael, 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. 14 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, 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. 15 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. 16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his in­iq­ui­ty.
