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.

But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
