³² and the people make unto the spoil, and take sheep, and oxen, and sons of the herd, and slaughter on the earth, and the people eat with the blood.

¹⁹ and why hast thou not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah -- and dost fly unto the spoil, and dost do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah?'

¹⁷ `A statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings: any fat or any blood ye do not eat.'

¹⁶ `Only, the blood ye do not eat -- on the earth thou dost pour it as water;

²⁶ `Ye do not eat with the blood; ye do not enchant, nor observe clouds.

¹⁰ `And any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who eateth any blood, I have even set My face against the person who is eating the blood, and have cut him off from the midst of his people;

¹¹ for the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar, to make atonement for your souls; for it `is' the blood which maketh atonement for the soul.

¹² `Therefore I have said to the sons of Israel, No person among you doth eat blood, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst doth not eat blood;

¹³ and any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who hunteth venison, beast or fowl, which is eaten -- hath even poured out its blood, and hath covered it with dust;

¹⁴ for `it is' the life of all flesh, its blood is for its life; and I say to the sons of Israel, Blood of any flesh ye do not eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood; any one eating it is cut off.

⁴ only flesh in its life -- its blood -- ye do not eat.

²⁰ but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;

²³ `Only, be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood `is' the life, and thou dost not eat the life with the flesh;

²⁴ thou dost not eat it, on the earth thou dost pour it as water;

²⁹ to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!'

²⁵ Therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: With the blood ye do eat, And your eyes ye lift up unto your idols, And blood ye shed, and the land ye inherit!

²⁶ `And any blood ye do not eat in all your dwellings, of fowl, or of beast;

²⁷ any person who eateth any blood, even that person hath been cut off from his people.'
