Leviticus 17:12-16 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

12. `Therefore I have said to the sons of Israel, No person among you doth eat blood, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst doth not eat blood;

13. and any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who hunteth venison, beast or fowl, which is eaten--hath even poured out its blood, and hath covered it with dust;

14. for [it is] the life of all flesh, its blood is for its life; and I say to the sons of Israel, Blood of any flesh ye do not eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood; any one eating it is cut off.

15. `And any person who eateth a carcase or torn thing, among natives or among sojourners--hath both washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean until the evening--then he hath been clean;

16. and if he wash not, and his flesh bathe not--then he hath borne his iniquity.'
