17:8 “You are to say to them: ‘Any man ¹  from the house of Israel or ²  from the foreigners who reside ³  in their ⁴  midst, who offers ⁵  a burnt offering or a sacrifice 17:9 but does not bring it to the entrance of the Meeting Tent to offer it ⁶  to the Lord – that person will be cut off from his people. ⁷ 

17:10 “‘Any man ⁸  from the house of Israel or from the foreigners who reside ⁹  in their ¹⁰  midst who eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats the blood, and I will cut him off from the midst of his people, ¹¹  17:11 for the life of every living thing ¹²  is in the blood. ¹³  So I myself have assigned it to you ¹⁴  on the altar to make atonement for your lives, for the blood makes atonement by means of the life. ¹⁵  17:12 Therefore, I have said to the Israelites: No person among you is to eat blood, ¹⁶  and no resident foreigner who lives among you is to eat blood. ¹⁷ 

17:13 “‘Any man from the Israelites ¹⁸  or from the foreigners who reside ¹⁹  in their ²⁰  midst who hunts a wild animal ²¹  or a bird that may be eaten ²²  must pour out its blood and cover it with soil, 17:14 for the life of all flesh is its blood. ²³  So I have said to the Israelites: You must not eat the blood of any living thing ²⁴  because the life of every living thing is its blood – all who eat it will be cut off. ²⁵
