17 “‘It is a lasting statute for your generations, in all your dwelling places: You must not eat any fat or any blood+ at all.’”

26 “‘You must not eat any blood+ in any of your dwelling places, whether that of birds or that of animals.

10 “‘If any man of the house of Israel or any foreigner who is residing in your midst eats any sort of blood,+ I will certainly set my face against the one* who is eating the blood, and I will cut him off* from among his people.

13 “‘If one of the Israelites or some foreigner who is residing in your midst is hunting and catches a wild animal or a bird that may be eaten, he must pour its blood out+ and cover it with dust.

16 But you must not eat the blood;+ you should pour it out on the ground like water.+

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

20 but to write them to abstain from things polluted by idols,+ from sexual immorality,+ from what is strangled, and from blood.+

29 to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols,+ from blood,+ from what is strangled,+ and from sexual immorality.+ 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 them our decision in writing that they should keep away from what is sacrificed to idols+ as well as from blood,+ from what is strangled,+ and from sexual immorality.”+
