17:10 “‘Any man 1 from the house of Israel or from the foreigners who reside 2 in their 3 midst who eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats the blood, and I will cut him off from the midst of his people, 4 17:11 for the life of every living thing 5 is in the blood. 6 So I myself have assigned it to you 7 on the altar to make atonement for your lives, for the blood makes atonement by means of the life. 8 17:12 Therefore, I have said to the Israelites: No person among you is to eat blood, 9 and no resident foreigner who lives among you is to eat blood. 10
17:13 “‘Any man from the Israelites 11 or from the foreigners who reside 12 in their 13 midst who hunts a wild animal 14 or a bird that may be eaten 15 must pour out its blood and cover it with soil, 17:14 for the life of all flesh is its blood. 16 So I have said to the Israelites: You must not eat the blood of any living thing 17 because the life of every living thing is its blood – all who eat it will be cut off. 18
