Laws Against Eating Blood

¹⁰ “If any one of the house of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn among them ^(A)eats any blood, I will ^(B)set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people.

^11 (A)For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar ^(B)to make atonement for your souls, ^(C)for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.

¹⁴ For the life of every creature^[a] is its ^(A)blood: its blood is its life.^[b] Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.
