17:13 “‘Any man from the Israelites 1 or from the foreigners who reside 2 in their 3 midst who hunts a wild animal 4 or a bird that may be eaten 5 must pour out its blood and cover it with soil, 17:14 for the life of all flesh is its blood. 6 So I have said to the Israelites: You must not eat the blood of any living thing 7 because the life of every living thing is its blood – all who eat it will be cut off. 8
