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.
