Then they reported to Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against the Lord by eating the blood.” And he said, “You have dealt faithlessly. Roll a great stone to me this day.”
Whoever from the house of Israel, or from the strangers who sojourn among you, who eats any manner of blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judges, for when you judge another, you condemn yourself, for you who judge do the same things.
Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, ‘Bring to me here every man his ox or sheep. And slaughter them here, and eat. But you shall not sin against the Lord by eating with the blood.’ ” And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.
