Leviticus 17:13-15

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ “Moreover, whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, takes by hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust.

¹⁴ “For the life of all flesh is its blood. It is as his life.” Therefore, I said to the children of Israel, “You shall eat the blood of no flesh. For the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.

¹⁵ “And every person who eats that which dies naturally or that which is torn by beasts, whether it be one of the same country or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes and wash himself in water and be unclean until the evening. Afterward he shall be clean.
