Uayiqrah (Leviticus) — 17

Prohibitions against Eating Blood

1 Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Dabar to Musha, 

2 “Give the following instructions to Aarun and his sons and all the people of Yashar'AL. This is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has commanded.

3 “If any native Yasharalym sacrifices a bull or a lamb or a goat anywhere inside or outside the camp 

4 instead of bringing it to the entrance of the Tabernacle to present it as an offering to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, that person will be as guilty as a murderer, such a person has shed blood and will be cut off from the community. 

5 The purpose of this rule is to stop the Yasharalym from sacrificing animals in the open fields. It will ensure that they bring their sacrifices to the Kuhan at the entrance of the Tabernacle, so he can present them to  𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH as Shalum offerings. 

6 Then the Kuhan will be able to splatter the blood against the altar of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, at the entrance of the Tabernacle, and he will burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. 

7 The people must no longer be unfaithful to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH by offering sacrifices to the goat idols, this is a permanent law for them to observed from generation to generation.

8 “Give them this command as well. If any native Yashar'AL or foreigner living among you offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice 

9 but does not bring it to the entrance of the Tabernacle to offer it to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, that person will be cut off from the community.

10 “And if any native Yasharalym or foreigner living among you eats or drinks blood in any form, I will turn against that person and cut him off from the community of your people, 

11 for the life of the body is in its blood, I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible. 

12 That is why I have said to the people of Yashar'AL, ‘You must never eat or drink blood neither you nor the foreigners among you.’

13 “And if any native Yasharalym or foreigner living among you goes hunting and kills an animal or bird that is approved for eating, he must drain its blood and cover it with Arath.

14 The life of every creature is in its blood. That is why I have said to the people of Yashar'AL, ‘You must never eat or drink blood, for the life of any creature is in its blood.’ So whoever consumes blood will be cut off from the community.

15 “And if any native-born Yasharalym or foreigners eat the meat of an animal that died naturally or was torn up by wild animals, they must wash their clothes and bathe themselves in water., they will remain ceremonially unclean until evening, but then they will be clean. 

16 But if they do not wash their clothes and bathe themselves, they will be punished for their sin.”
