And the LORD spake
unto Moses
, saying
,
Speak unto Aaron
, and unto his sons
, and unto all the children
of Israel
, and say
unto them; This is the thing
which the LORD
hath commanded
, saying
,
What man
soever there be of the house
of Israel
, that killeth
an ox
, or lamb
, or goat
, in the camp
, or that killeth
it out
of the camp
,
And bringeth it not unto the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation
, to offer
an offering
unto the LORD
before
the tabernacle
of the LORD
; blood
shall be imputed
unto that man
; he hath shed
blood
; and that man
shall be cut off
from among
his people
:
To the end that the children of Israel
may bring
their sacrifices
, which they offer
in the open
field
, even that they may bring
them unto the LORD
, unto the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation
, unto the priest
, and offer
them for peace
offerings
unto the LORD
.
And the priest shall sprinkle
the blood
upon the altar
of the LORD
at the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation
, and burn
the fat
for a sweet
savour
unto the LORD
.
And they shall no more offer their sacrifices
unto devils
, after
whom they have gone a whoring
. This shall be a statute
for ever
unto them throughout their generations
.
And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man
there be of the house
of Israel
, or of the strangers
which sojourn
among
you, that offereth
a burnt offering
or sacrifice
,
And bringeth it not unto the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation
, to offer
it unto the LORD
; even that man
shall be cut off
from among his people
.
And whatsoever man there be of the house
of Israel
, or of the strangers
that sojourn
among
you, that eateth
any manner of blood
; I will even set
my face
against that soul
that eateth
blood
, and will cut him off
from among
his people
.
For the life of the flesh
is in the blood
: and I have given
it to you upon the altar
to make an atonement
for your souls
: for it is the blood
that maketh an atonement
for the soul
.
Therefore I said unto the children
of Israel
, No soul
of you shall eat
blood
, neither shall any stranger
that sojourneth
among
you eat
blood
.
And whatsoever man there be of the children
of Israel
, or of the strangers
that sojourn
among
you, which hunteth
and catcheth
any beast
or fowl
that may be eaten
; he shall even pour
out the blood
thereof, and cover
it with dust
.
For it is the life of all flesh
; the blood
of it is for the life
thereof: therefore I said
unto the children
of Israel
, Ye shall eat
the blood
of no manner of flesh
: for the life
of all flesh
is the blood
thereof: whosoever eateth
it shall be cut off
.
And every soul that eateth
that which died
of itself , or that which was torn
with beasts, whether it be one of your own country
, or a stranger
, he shall both wash
his clothes
, and bathe
himself in water
, and be unclean
until the even
: then shall he be clean
.
But if he wash them not, nor bathe
his flesh
; then he shall bear
his iniquity
.
