Imamat 7:26

7:26 And you must not eat any blood of the birds or the domesticated land animals in any of the places where you live. ¹ 

Yehezkiel 24:7

24:7 For her blood was in it;

she poured it on an exposed rock;

she did not pour it on the ground to cover it up with dust.

Yehezkiel 33:25

33:25 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: You eat the meat with the blood still in it, ²  pray to ³  your idols, and shed blood. Do you really think you will possess ⁴  the land?

Kisah Para Rasul 15:20

15:20 but that we should write them a letter ⁵  telling them to abstain ⁶  from things defiled ⁷  by idols and from sexual immorality and from what has been strangled ⁸  and from blood.

[7:26]  ¹ tn Heb “and any blood you must not eat in any of your dwelling places, to the bird and to the animal.”

[33:25]  ² sn This practice was a violation of Levitical law (see Lev 19:26).

[33:25]  ³ tn Heb “lift up your eyes.”

[33:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “Will you possess?”

[15:20]  ⁵ tn The translation “to write a letter, to send a letter to” for ἐπιστέλλω (epistellw) is given in L&N 33.49.

[15:20]  ⁶ tn Three of the four prohibitions deal with food (the first, third and fourth) while one prohibition deals with behavior (the second, refraining from sexual immorality). Since these occur in the order they do, the translation “abstain from” is used to cover both sorts of activity (eating food items, immoral behavior).

[15:20]  sn Telling them to abstain. These restrictions are not on matters of salvation, but are given as acts of sensitivity to their Jewish brethren, as v. 21 makes clear. Another example of such sensitivity is seen in 1 Cor 10:14-11:1.

[15:20]  ⁷ tn Or “polluted.”

[15:20]  ⁸ sn What has been strangled. That is, to refrain from eating animals that had been killed without having the blood drained from them. According to the Mosaic law (Lev 17:13-14), Jews were forbidden to eat flesh with the blood still in it (note the following provision in Acts 15:20, and from blood).
