1And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: This is the thing which Yehovah has commanded, saying, 3Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, who kills an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, 4and has not brought it to the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblation to Yehovah before the tabernacle of Yehovah: blood shall be imputed to that man; he has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people: 5to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Yehovah, to the door of the tent of meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings to Yehovah. 6And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Yehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet aroma to Yehovah. 7And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations. 8And you shall say to them, Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who offers a burnt-offering or sacrifice, 9and does not bring it to the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it to Yehovah; that man shall be cut off from his people. 10And whatever man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life. 12Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood. 13And whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who takes in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust. 14For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is one with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel, You shall eat the blood of no kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eats it shall be cut off. 15And every soul that eats what dies of itself, or what is torn by beasts, whether he is native-born or a sojourner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean. 16But if he does not wash them, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.
