Therefore I have said to the children of Yisra'el, *No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.*
Therefore tell them, Thus says the Lord GOD: You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?
For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.
*'Whatever man there is of the children of Yisra'el, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.
