Leviticus 17:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ and does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to offer it to the Lord, that person will be cut off from among his people. ^10 [a]Whoever from the house of Israel or from among the aliens living in your midst eats anything with blood, I will set my face against that person and he shall be cut off from among his people. ¹¹ The life of all flesh is found in its blood. I have given it to you to make atonement for your life upon the altar. Blood is to make atonement for one’s life.’
