Leviticus 17:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ If anyone from the house of Israel or from the aliens who reside among them eats any blood, I will set my face against the person who eats the blood, and I will cut him off from among his people. ¹¹ For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I myself have given it to you to make atonement for your lives upon the altar, because it is the blood that makes atonement by means of the life. ¹² Therefore I have said to the Israelites: None of you shall eat blood, nor shall any alien who resides among you eat blood.
