Leviticus 17:10-13

MLV(i) 10 And whatever man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that journey among them, who eats any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you* upon the altar to make atonement for your* souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life. 12 Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, No soul of you* will eat blood, nor will any stranger that travels among you* eat blood. 13 And whatever man there is of the sons of Israel, or of the strangers that journey among them, who takes any beast or bird in hunting that may be eaten, he will pour out the blood of it and cover it with dust.
