Leviticus 17:12-14

Legacy Standard Bible

¹² Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘No person among you may eat blood, and no sojourner who sojourns among you may eat blood.’ ¹³ So any man from the sons of Israel, or from the sojourners who sojourn among them, who in hunting catches a beast or a bird which may be eaten, ^(A)shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth.

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