Leviticus 17:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Moreover whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, which by hunting taketh any beast or fowl that may be [a]eaten, he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust:
14 For the life of all flesh is his blood, it is joined with his life: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, (A)Ye shall eat the blood of no [b]flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it, shall be cut off.
15 And every person that eateth it which dieth alone, or that which is torn with beasts, whether it be one of the same country or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and wash himself in water, and be unclean unto the even: after he shall be [c]clean.

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.
