Leviticus 17:12-14

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² ‘Therefore, I said to the children of Israel, “None of you shall eat blood. Nor shall the stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.

¹³ “Moreover, whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, takes by hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust.

¹⁴ “For the life of all flesh is its blood. It is as his life.” Therefore, I said to the children of Israel, “You shall eat the blood of no flesh. For the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.
