1 And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

2 Speak{H1696}{(H8761)} unto Aaron{H175}, and unto his sons{H1121}, and unto all the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, and say{H559}{(H8804)} unto them; This is the thing{H1697} which the LORD{H3068} hath commanded{H6680}{(H8765)}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

3 What{H376} man{H376} soever there be of the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478}, that killeth{H7819}{(H8799)} an ox{H7794}, or lamb{H3775}, or goat{H5795}, in the camp{H4264}, or that killeth{H7819}{(H8799)} it out{H2351} of the camp{H4264},

4 And bringeth{H935}{(H8689)} it not unto the door{H6607} of the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}, to offer{H7126}{(H8687)} an offering{H7133} unto the LORD{H3068} before{H6440} the tabernacle{H4908} of the LORD{H3068}; blood{H1818} shall be imputed{H2803}{(H8735)} unto that man{H376}; he hath shed{H8210}{(H8804)} blood{H1818}; and that man{H376} shall be cut off{H3772}{(H8738)} from among{H7130} his people{H5971}:

5 To the end that the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} may bring{H935}{(H8686)} their sacrifices{H2077}, which they offer{H2076}{(H8802)} in the open{H6440} field{H7704}, even that they may bring{H935}{(H8689)} them unto the LORD{H3068}, unto the door{H6607} of the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}, unto the priest{H3548}, and offer{H2076}{(H8804)} them for peace{H8002} offerings{H2077} unto the LORD{H3068}.

6 And the priest{H3548} shall sprinkle{H2236}{(H8804)} the blood{H1818} upon the altar{H4196} of the LORD{H3068} at the door{H6607} of the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}, and burn{H6999}{(H8689)} the fat{H2459} for a sweet{H5207} savour{H7381} unto the LORD{H3068}.

7 And they shall no more offer{H2076}{(H8799)} their sacrifices{H2077} unto devils{H8163}, after{H310} whom they have gone a whoring{H2181}{(H8802)}. This shall be a statute{H2708} for ever{H5769} unto them throughout their generations{H1755}.

8 And thou shalt say{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Whatsoever man{H376} there be of the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478}, or of the strangers{H1616} which sojourn{H1481}{(H8799)} among{H8432} you, that offereth{H5927}{(H8686)} a burnt offering{H5930} or sacrifice{H2077},

9 And bringeth{H935}{(H8686)} it not unto the door{H6607} of the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}, to offer{H6213}{(H8800)} it unto the LORD{H3068}; even that man{H376} shall be cut off{H3772}{(H8738)} from among his people{H5971}.

10 And whatsoever man{H376} there be of the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478}, or of the strangers{H1616} that sojourn{H1481}{(H8802)} among{H8432} you, that eateth{H398}{(H8799)} any manner of blood{H1818}; I will even set{H5414}{(H8804)} my face{H6440} against that soul{H5315} that eateth{H398}{(H8802)} blood{H1818}, and will cut him off{H3772}{(H8689)} from among{H7130} his people{H5971}.

11 For the life{H5315} of the flesh{H1320} is in the blood{H1818}: and I have given{H5414}{(H8804)} it to you upon the altar{H4196} to make an atonement{H3722}{(H8763)} for your souls{H5315}: for it is the blood{H1818} that maketh an atonement{H3722}{(H8762)} for the soul{H5315}.

12 Therefore I said{H559}{(H8804)} unto the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, No soul{H5315} of you shall eat{H398}{(H8799)} blood{H1818}, neither shall any stranger{H1616} that sojourneth{H1481}{(H8802)} among{H8432} you eat{H398}{(H8799)} blood{H1818}.

13 And whatsoever man{H376} there be of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, or of the strangers{H1616} that sojourn{H1481}{(H8802)} among{H8432} you, which hunteth{H6679}{(H8799)} and catcheth{H6718} any beast{H2416} or fowl{H5775} that may be eaten{H398}{(H8735)}; he shall even pour{H8210}{(H8804)} out the blood{H1818} thereof, and cover{H3680}{(H8765)} it with dust{H6083}.

14 For it is the life{H5315} of all flesh{H1320}; the blood{H1818} of it is for the life{H5315} thereof: therefore I said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, Ye shall eat{H398}{(H8799)} the blood{H1818} of no manner of flesh{H1320}: for the life{H5315} of all flesh{H1320} is the blood{H1818} thereof: whosoever eateth{H398}{(H8802)} it shall be cut off{H3772}{(H8735)}.

15 And every soul{H5315} that eateth{H398}{(H8799)} that which died{H5038} of itself, or that which was torn{H2966} with beasts, whether it be one of your own country{H249}, or a stranger{H1616}, he shall both wash{H3526}{(H8765)} his clothes{H899}, and bathe{H7364}{(H8804)} himself in water{H4325}, and be unclean{H2930}{(H8804)} until the even{H6153}: then shall he be clean{H2891}{(H8804)}.

16 But if he wash{H3526}{(H8762)} them not, nor bathe{H7364}{(H8799)} his flesh{H1320}; then he shall bear{H5375}{(H8804)} his iniquity{H5771}.
