03:017:005 To the end that the children of Israel
may bring their
sacrifices,
which they offer in the open field, even that they
may
bring them unto the lord, unto the door of the
tabernacle
of
the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for
peace
offerings
unto the lord.
03:017:006 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood
upon the altar of the
lord
at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
and
burn
the fat for a sweet savour unto the lord.
03:017:007 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices
unto devils,
after
whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a
statute
for
ever unto them throughout their generations.
03:017:008 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever
man there be of the
house
of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among
you,
that
offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
03:017:009 And bringeth it not unto the door of the
tabernacle of the
congregation,
to offer it unto the lord; even that man shall
be
cut off from among his people.
03:017:010 And whatsoever man there be of the house
of Israel, or of the
strangers
that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of
blood;
I will even set my face against that soul that eateth
blood,
and will cut him off from among his people.
03:017:011 For the life of the flesh is in the blood:
and I have given it
to
you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:
for
it
is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
03:017:012 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel,
No soul of you
shall
eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth
among
you eat blood.
03:017:013 And whatsoever man there be of the children
of Israel, or of
the
strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and
catcheth
any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even
pour
out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
03:017:014 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood
of it is for the
life
thereof: therefore I said unto the children of
Israel, Ye
shall
eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life
of all
flesh
is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall
be cut
off.
03:017:015 And every soul that eateth that which died
of itself, or that
which
was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own
country,
or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and
bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the even:
then
shall
he be clean.
03:017:016 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his
flesh; then he shall
bear
his iniquity.
