“‘Any man from the Israelites or from the foreigners who reside in their midst who hunts a wild animal or a bird that may be eaten must pour out its blood and cover it with soil,
“O earth, do not cover my blood, nor let there be a secret place for my cry.
for on account of a prostitute one is brought down to a loaf of bread, but the wife of another man preys on your precious life.
For her blood was in it; she poured it on an exposed rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it up with dust.
Therefore, I have said to the Israelites: No person among you is to eat blood, and no resident foreigner who lives among you is to eat blood.
And you must not eat any blood of the birds or the domesticated land animals in any of the places where you live.
However, you must not eat blood – pour it out on the ground like water.
You must not eat it! You must pour it out on the ground like water.
However, you must not eat its blood; you must pour it out on the ground like water.
