(LY:4) 1 Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying, 2 “Speak to Aaron [Light-bringer], and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel [God prevails], and say to them: ‘This is the thing which Adonai has enjoined, 3 *. Lev 17:3-4 (Lev 17:1-7) (#2b.138): T. Not to slaughter concentrated animals outside the Sanctuary / R. Not to slaughter sacrifices outside the courtyard Whatever man there is of the house of Israel [God prevails], who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, 4 and has not brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to offer it as an offering to Adonai before Adonai’s tabernacle: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people. 5 This is to the end that the children of Israel [God prevails] may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Adonai, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to Adonai. 6 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on Adonai’s altar at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to Adonai. 7 They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a regulation forever to them throughout their generations.’

(RY:3, LY:5) 8 “You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel [God prevails], or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice, 9 and does not bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to Adonai; that man shall be cut off from his people.

10 “ ‘Any man of the house of Israel [God prevails], or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life. 12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel [God prevails], “No person among you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”

13 †. Lev 17:13-14 (Lev 17:10:14) (#3.228): T. To cover the blood of a hunted and killed animal with earth or dirt / R. To cover the blood (of a slaughtered beast or fowl) with earth “ ‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel [God prevails], or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust. 14 For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel [God prevails], “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”

15 “ ‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean. 16 But if he does not wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his depravity (moral evil).’ ”
