⁴ Only flesh with its soul*+—its blood+—YOU must not eat.+

¹⁷ “‘It is a statute to time indefinite for YOUR generations, in all YOUR dwelling places: YOU must not eat any fat or any blood+ at all.’”

²⁶ “‘And YOU must not eat any blood+ in any places where YOU dwell, whether that of fowl or that of beast.

¹⁰ “‘As for any man of the house of Israel or some alien resident who is residing as an alien in YOUR* midst who eats any sort of blood,+ I shall certainly set my face against the soul+ that is eating the blood, and I shall indeed cut him* off from among his* people.

¹⁶ Only the blood YOU must not eat.+ On the earth you should pour it out as water.+

²³ Simply be firmly resolved not to eat the blood,+ because the blood is the soul+ and you must not eat the soul with the flesh.*

³² And the people began darting greedily at the spoil+ and taking sheep and cattle and calves and slaughtering them on the earth, and the people fell to eating along with the blood.+
