LEB(i)
1 Then* Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the ⌊Israelites⌋,* and you shall say to them, 'This is the word that Yahweh has commanded, saying,
3 "⌊Any man⌋* from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox or a sheep or a goat in the camp or who slaughters it ⌊outside the camp⌋*
4 and he does not bring it to the tent of assembly's entrance to present an offering to Yahweh ⌊before⌋* Yahweh's tabernacle, then* that man shall be accounted bloodguilty—he has poured out blood, and that man shall be cut off from the midst of his people.
5 This is so that the ⌊Israelites⌋* may bring their sacrifices that they are sacrificing ⌊in the open field⌋* and bring* them for Yahweh to the tent of assembly's entrance to the priest, and they shall sacrifice fellowship offerings for Yahweh with them.
6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on Yahweh's altar at the tent of assembly's entrance, and he shall ⌊burn⌋* the fat as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh.
7 And ⌊they may no longer sacrifice⌋* their sacrifices to the goat-idols after which they were prostituting. This is ⌊a lasting statute⌋* for them ⌊throughout⌋* their generations." '
8 "And you shall say to them, 'if there is ⌊anyone⌋* from the house of Israel or* from the alien who dwells in their midst who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice
9 and he does not bring it to the tent of assembly's entrance to ⌊sacrifice⌋* it for Yahweh, then* that man shall be cut off from his people.
10 And if there is ⌊anyone⌋* from the house of Israel or* from the alien who is dwelling in their midst who eats any blood, then* I will set my face against the person who eats the blood, and I will cut him off from among his people.
11 Indeed* the flesh's life is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your lives, because it is the blood with the life that makes atonement.
12 ⌊Therefore⌋* I said to the ⌊Israelites⌋,* '⌊None of you⌋* may eat blood, nor* may the alien who is dwelling in your midst eat blood.'
13 "And if there is ⌊anyone⌋* from the ⌊Israelites⌋* or* from the alien who is dwelling in their midst who hunts a wild game animal or a bird that may be eaten, then* he shall pour out its blood, and he shall cover it with the soil.
14 Indeed,* the life of all flesh, its blood, is in its life, so* I said to the ⌊Israelites⌋,* 'You may not eat the blood of any flesh, because the life of all flesh is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.'
15 "And if there is any person who eats a dead body or* a mangled carcass, whether among the native or* among the alien, then* he shall wash his garments, and he shall wash himself* with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall be clean.
16 But* if he does not wash his garments* and he does not wash his body, then* he shall bear his guilt."
