Leviticus 17:13-15
Contemporary English Version
13 Even if you should hunt and kill a bird or an animal, you must drain out the blood and cover it with soil.
14 The life of every living creature is in its blood. That's why I have forbidden you to eat blood and why I have warned you that anyone who does will no longer belong to my people.
15 If you happen to find a dead animal and eat it, you must take a bath and wash your clothes, but you are still unclean until evening.

New International Version
13 “‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing among you who hunts any animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out the blood and cover it with earth,(A) 14 because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, “You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.”(B)
15 “‘Anyone, whether native-born or foreigner, who eats anything(C) found dead or torn by wild animals(D) must wash their clothes and bathe with water,(E) and they will be ceremonially unclean till evening;(F) then they will be clean.
