⁴ Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, ^(A)its blood.

¹⁷ It is a ^(A)perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall not eat any fat ^(B)or any blood.’”

¹⁰ ‘^(A)And any man from the house of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, who eats any blood, ^(B)I will set My face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people. ¹¹ For ^(C)the ^[a]life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for ^(D)it is the blood by reason of the ^[b]life that makes atonement.’ ¹² Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘No person among you may eat blood, nor may any alien who sojourns among you eat blood.’ ¹³ So when any man from the sons of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, ^[c]in hunting catches a beast or a bird which may be eaten, ^(E)he shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth.

¹⁴ “^(F)For as for the ^[d]life of all flesh, its blood is identified with its ^[e]life. Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘You are not to eat the blood of any flesh, for the ^[f]life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off.’

²⁶ ‘You shall not eat anything ^(A)with the blood, nor practice ^(B)divination or soothsaying.

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

²³ Only be sure ^(A)not to eat the blood, for the blood is the ^[a]life, and you shall not eat the ^[b]life with the flesh.

²⁰ but that we write to them that they abstain from ^[a](A)things contaminated by idols and from ^(B)fornication and from ^(C)what is strangled and from blood.
