LEVITICUS · Chapter 17
17:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
17:2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children
of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD has commanded,
saying,
17:3 Whosoever there be of the house of Israel, that kills an ox, or
lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that kills it out of the camp,
17:4 And brings it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood
shall be imputed unto that man; he has shed blood; and that man shall be
cut off from among his people:
17:5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices,
which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto
the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the
priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
17:6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the
LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat
for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
17:7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after
whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them
throughout their generations.
17:8 And you shall say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house
of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offers a burnt
offering or sacrifice,
17:9 And brings it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his
people.
17:10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the
strangers that sojourn among you, that eats any manner of blood; I will
even set my face against that soul that eats blood, and will cut him off
from among his people.
17:11 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 makes an atonement for the soul.
17:12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you
shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourns among you eat
blood.
17:13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of
the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunts and catches any beast
or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and
cover it with dust.
17:14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life
thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, All of you shall
eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood
thereof: whosoever eats it shall be cut off.
17:15 And every soul that eats that which died of itself, or that which
was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger,
he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean
until the even: then shall he be clean.
17:16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear
his iniquity.
