Leviticus 17:13

New International Version

“ ‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing among you who hunts any animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out the blood and cover it with earth,

See the chapter Copy

“Earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry never be laid to rest!

For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man’s wife preys on your very life.

“ ‘For the blood she shed is in her midst: She poured it on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground, where the dust would cover it.

Therefore I say to the Israelites, “None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner residing among you eat blood.”

And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.

But you must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.

You must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.

But you must not eat the blood; pour it out on the ground like water.
