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

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.

32 So the people began rushing greedily at the spoil, and they took sheep and cattle and calves and slaughtered them on the ground, and they ate the meat along with the blood.+ 33 So it was reported to Saul: “Look! The people are sinning against Jehovah by eating meat with the blood.”+ At this he said: “You have acted faithlessly. Roll a large stone to me immediately.”
