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.

13 “‘As for any man of the sons of Israel or some alien resident who is residing as an alien in YOUR midst who in hunting catches a wild beast or a fowl that may be eaten, he must in that case pour its blood out+ and cover it with dust.+

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.*

20 but to write them to abstain* from things polluted by idols+ and from fornication*+ and from what is strangled*+ and from blood.*+

29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols+ and from blood+ and from things strangled*+ and from fornication.*+ If YOU carefully keep yourselves from these things,+ YOU will prosper. Good health to YOU!”*

25 As for the believers from among the nations, we have sent out,* rendering our decision that they should keep themselves from what is sacrificed to idols+ as well as from blood+ and what is strangled*+ and from fornication.”+
