¹⁴ For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.

⁴ But flesh with the life-blood in it you may not take for food.

²³ But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh.

¹¹ For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.

¹² For this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any others living with you, may take blood as food.
