And Jehovah spoke to▵ Moses , saying,
2
Speak to▵ Aaron , and to▵ his sons, and to▵ all the sons of Israel , and say to▵ them; This is the word which Jehovah has commanded , saying,
3
A man ◦, a man ◦ from the house of Israel , who slaughters an ox, or lamb▵, or goat , in the camp , or who slaughters it outside the camp ,
4
and brings it not to▵ the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation ◦, to offer an offering to Jehovah before the Habitation of Jehovah ; blood shall be reckoned to that◦ man ◦; he has shed blood ; and that◦ man ◦ shall be cut··off from among his people ;
5
for the sake◦ that the sons of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they◦ sacrifice on the faces of the field , and that they may bring them to Jehovah , to▵ the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation ◦, to▵ the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace ··offerings to Jehovah .
6
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of Jehovah at the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation ◦, and burn··for··incense the fat for a restful smell to Jehovah .
7
And they shall no◦ more◦ sacrifice their sacrifices to satyrs , after whom they◦ have committed··harlotry. This shall be a statute for eternity to them◦ to their generations .
8
And thou shalt say to▵ them, A man ◦, a man ◦ there be of the house of Israel , or of the sojourners which sojourn among▵ you, that offers··up a burnt··offering or sacrifice,
9
and brings it not to▵ the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation ◦, to make it an offering to Jehovah ; even▵ that◦ man ◦ shall be cut··off from his peoples.
10
And a man ◦, a man ◦ there be of the house of Israel , or of the sojourners that sojourn among▵ you, that eats any blood ; I will even▵ put◦ My face against◦ the soul who eats the blood , and will cut· him ·off from among his people .
11
For the soul of the flesh , it◦ is in the blood ; and I◦ have given it to you upon the altar to make··atonement for▵ your souls : for it◦ is the blood that makes··atonement for the soul .
12
Therefore I said to the sons of Israel , Not any soul of you shall eat blood , and the sojourner who sojourns in your midst shall not eat blood .
13
And a man ◦, a man ◦ from the sons of Israel , or from the sojourner sojourning in your midst , who hunts a hunting of a wild··animal or fowl that may be eaten , he shall also◦ spill its blood , and cover it with dust .
14
For it is the soul of all flesh ; its blood , it◦ is with the soul of the flesh*; and I said to the sons of Israel , the blood of all flesh you shall not eat : for the soul of all flesh is its blood ; all who eat it◦ shall be cut··off.
15
And every soul that eats a carcass , or that which was torn , whether among◦ the native born or among◦ the sojourner , he shall both wash his garments , and bathe himself in the water , and be··unclean until the evening ; and then shall he be··clean.
16
But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh ; then he shall bear his iniquity .
