Leviticus 17:10-12

English Standard Version

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 (C)For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar ^(D)to make atonement for your souls, ^(E)for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life. ¹² Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.
