Leviticus 17:12-14
GOD’S WORD Translation
12 That is why I have said to the people of Israel: Neither you nor foreigners should ever eat blood.
13 “If Israelites or foreigners hunt any animal or bird that may be eaten, they must pour out the animal’s blood and cover it with dirt. 14 This is because the life of any creature is in its blood. So I have said to the people of Israel: Never eat any blood, because the life of any creature is in its blood. Whoever eats blood must be excluded ⌞from the people⌟.
