And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth.
O earth, let not my blood be covered, and let my cry have no resting-place!
For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life.
For her blood is in her; she has put it on the open rock not draining it on to the earth so that it might be covered with dust;
For this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any others living with you, may take blood as food.
And you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your houses.
But you may not take the blood for food, it is to be drained out on the earth like water.
Do not take it for food but let it be drained out on the earth like water.
Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water.
