ASV_Strong : Leviticus 17
1. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
2. Speak[H1696] unto Aaron[H175], and unto his sons[H1121], and unto all the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], and say[H559] unto them[H1697]: This is the thing which Jehovah[H3068] hath commanded[H6680], saying[H559],
3. What[H376] man[H376] soever there be of the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], that killeth[H7819] an ox[H7794], or lamb[H3775], or goat[H5795], in the camp[H4264], or that killeth[H7819] it without[H2351] the camp[H4264],
4. and hath not brought[H935] it unto the door[H6607] of the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150], to offer[H7126] it as an oblation[H7133] unto Jehovah[H3068] before[H6440] the tabernacle[H4908] of Jehovah[H3068]: blood[H1818] shall be imputed[H2803] unto that man[H376]; he hath shed[H8210] blood[H1818]; and that man[H376] shall be cut off[H3772] from among[H7130] his people[H5971]:
5. To the end that the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] may bring[H935] their sacrifices[H2077], which they sacrifice[H2076] in the open[H6440] field[H7704], even that they may bring[H935] them unto Jehovah[H3068], unto the door[H6607] of the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150], unto the priest[H3548], and sacrifice[H2076] them for sacrifices[H2077] of peace-offerings[H8002] unto Jehovah[H3068].
6. And the priest[H3548] shall sprinkle[H2236] the blood[H1818] upon the altar[H4196] of Jehovah[H3068] at the door[H6607] of the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150], and burn[H6999] the fat[H2459] for a sweet[H5207] savor[H7381] unto Jehovah[H3068].
7. And they shall no more sacrifice[H2076] their sacrifices[H2077] unto the he-goats[H8163], after[H310] which they play the harlot[H2181]. This shall be a statute[H2708] for ever[H5769] unto them throughout their generations[H1755].
8. And thou shalt say[H559] unto them[H376], Whatsoever man there be of the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], or of the strangers[H1616] that sojourn[H1481] among[H8432] them[H5927], that offereth a burnt-offering[H5930] or sacrifice[H2077],
9. and bringeth[H935] it not unto the door[H6607] of the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150], to sacrifice[H6213] it unto Jehovah[H3068]; that man[H376] shall be cut off[H3772] from his people[H5971].
10. And whatsoever man[H376] there be of the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], or of the strangers[H1616] that sojourn[H1481] among[H8432] them[H398], that eateth any manner of blood[H1818], I will set[H5414] my face[H6440] against that soul[H5315] that eateth[H398] blood[H1818], and will cut him off[H3772] from among[H7130] his people[H5971].
11. For the life[H5315] of the flesh[H1320] is in the blood[H1818]; and I have given[H5414] it to you upon the altar[H4196] to make atonement[H3722] for your souls[H5315]: for it is the blood[H1818] that maketh atonement[H3722] by reason of the life[H5315].
12. Therefore I said[H559] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], No soul[H5315] of you shall eat[H398] blood[H1818], neither shall any stranger[H1616] that sojourneth[H1481] among[H8432] you eat[H398] blood[H1818].
13. And whatsoever man[H376] there be of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], or of the strangers[H1616] that sojourn[H1481] among[H8432] them[H6718], who taketh in hunting[H6679] any beast[H2416] or bird[H5775] that may be eaten[H398]; he shall pour[H8210] out the blood[H1818] thereof[H3680], and cover it with dust[H6083].
14. For as to the life[H5315] of all flesh[H1320], the blood[H1818] thereof is all one with the life[H5315] thereof[H559]: therefore I said unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], Ye shall eat[H398] the blood[H1818] of no manner of flesh[H1320]; for the life[H5315] of all flesh[H1320] is the blood[H1818] thereof[H398]: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off[H3772].
15. And every soul[H5315] that eateth[H398] that which dieth[H5038] of itself[H2966], or that which is torn of beasts[H249], whether he be home-born or a sojourner[H1616], he shall wash[H3526] his clothes[H899], and bathe[H3526] himself in water[H4325], and be unclean[H2930] until the even[H6153]: then shall he be clean[H2891].
16. But if he wash[H3526] them not[H7364], nor bathe his flesh[H1320], then he shall bear[H5375] his iniquity[H5771].
