¹³ “Any one also of the people of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who takes in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten shall ^(A)pour out its blood and ^(B)cover it with earth.

^16 (A)Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth like water.

⁷ For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on ^(A)the bare rock; ^(B)she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust.

^23 (A)Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.

²⁴ You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the earth like water.

²⁶ Moreover, ^(A)you shall eat no blood whatever, whether of fowl or of animal, in any of your dwelling places.

³² The people ^(A)pounced on the spoil and took sheep and oxen and calves and slaughtered them on the ground. And the people ate them ^(B)with the blood. ³³ Then they told Saul, “Behold, the people are sinning against the Lord by eating ^(C)with the blood.” And he said, “You have dealt treacherously; roll a great stone to me here.”^{[a] 34} And Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people and say to them, ‘Let every man bring his ox or his sheep and slaughter them here and eat, and do not sin against the Lord by eating with the blood.’” So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night and they slaughtered them there.
