and the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and killed them on the ground. And the people ate them with the blood.
Why then did thou not obey the voice of LORD, but did fly upon the spoil, and did that which was evil in the sight of LORD?
It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that ye shall eat neither fat nor blood.
Only ye shall not eat the blood. Thou shall pour it out upon the ground as water.
Ye shall not eat anything with the blood. Neither shall ye use enchantments, nor practice augury.
But flesh with the life of it, [which is] the blood of it, ye shall not eat.
but to write to them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication, keeping yourselves from which, ye will do well. Be strong.
Therefore say to them, Thus says lord LORD: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. And shall ye possess the land?
