Dual Panel1The Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>:
2“Speak <01696> to <0413> Aaron <0175>, his sons <01121>, and all <03605> the Israelites <03478> <01121>, and tell <0559> them: ‘This <02088> is the word <01697> that <0834> the Lord <03068> has commanded <06680>:
3“Blood guilt will be accounted to any <0376> man <0376> from the house <01004> of Israel <03478> who <0834> slaughters <07819> an ox <07794> or <0176> a lamb <03775> or <0176> a goat <05795> inside the camp <04264> or <0176> outside <02351> the camp <04264>,
4but has not <03808> brought <0935> it to <0413> the entrance <06607> of the Meeting <04150> Tent <0168> to present <07126> it as an offering <07133> to the Lord <03068> before <06440> the tabernacle <04908> of the Lord <03068>. He <01931> has shed <08210> blood <01818>, so that man <0376> will be cut off <03772> from the midst <07130> of his people <05971>.
5This is so <04616> that <0834> the Israelites <03478> <01121> will bring <0935> their sacrifices <02077> that <0834> they <01992> are sacrificing <02076> in <05921> the open field <07704> <06440> to the Lord <03068> at <0413> the entrance <06607> of the Meeting <04150> Tent <0168> to <0413> the priest <03548> and sacrifice <02076> them there as peace offering <08002> sacrifices <02077> to the Lord <03068>.
6The priest <03548> is to splash <02236> the blood <01818> on <05921> the altar <04196> of the Lord <03068> at the entrance <06607> of the Meeting <04150> Tent <0168>, and offer <06999> the fat <02459> up in smoke <06999> for a soothing <07381> aroma <05207> to the Lord <03068>.
7So they must no <03808> longer <05750> offer <02076> their sacrifices <02077> to the goat demons <08163>, acting like prostitutes <02181> by going after <0310> them. This <02063> is to be <01961> a perpetual <05769> statute <02708> for them <01992> throughout their generations <01755>.
8“You are to say <0559> to <0413> them: ‘Any <0376> man <0376> from the house <01004> of Israel <03478> or from <04480> the foreigners <01616> who <0834> reside <01481> in their midst <08432>, who <0834> offers <05927> a burnt offering <05930> or <0176> a sacrifice <02077>
9but does not <03808> bring <0935> it to <0413> the entrance <06607> of the Meeting <04150> Tent <0168> to offer <06213> it to the Lord <03068>– that <01931> person <0376> will be cut off <03772> from his people <05971>.
10“‘Any <0376> man <0376> from the house <01004> of Israel <03478> or from <04480> the foreigners <01616> who reside <01481> in their midst <08432> who <0834> eats <0398> any <03605> blood <01818>, I will set <05414> my face <06440> against that person <05315> who eats <0398> the blood <01818>, and I will cut <03772> him off <03772> from the midst <07130> of his people <05971>,
11for <03588> the life <05315> of every living thing <01320> is in the blood <01818>. So I myself <0589> have assigned <05414> it to you on <05921> the altar <04196> to make atonement <03722> for <05921> your lives <05315>, for <03588> the blood <01818> makes atonement <03722> by means of the life <05315>.
12Therefore <03651> <05921>, I have said <0559> to the Israelites <03478> <01121>: No <03808> <03605> person <05315> among <04480> you is to eat <0398> blood <01818>, and no <03808> resident foreigner <01616> who lives <01481> among <08432> you is to eat <0398> blood <01818>.
13“‘Any <0376> man <0376> from the Israelites <03478> <01121> or from <04480> the foreigners <01616> who reside <01481> in their midst <08432> who <0834> hunts <06679> a wild animal <06718> or <0176> a bird <05775> that <0834> may be eaten <0398> must pour out <08210> its blood <01818> and cover <03680> it with soil <06083>,
14for <03588> the life <05315> of all <03605> flesh <01320> is its blood <01818>. So I <01931> have said <0559> to the Israelites <03478> <01121>: You must not <03808> eat <0398> the blood <01818> of any <03605> living <01320> thing because <03588> the life <05315> of every <03605> living <01320> thing is its <01931> blood <01818>– all <03605> who eat <0398> it will be cut off <03772>.
15“‘Any <03605> person <05315> who <0834> eats <0398> an animal that has died of natural causes <05038> or an animal torn <02966> by beasts, whether a native citizen <0249> or a foreigner <01616>, must wash <03526> his clothes <0899>, bathe <07364> in water <04325>, and be unclean <02930> until <05704> evening <06153>; then he becomes clean <02891>.
16But if <0518> he does not <03808> wash <03526> his clothes and does not <03808> bathe <07364> his body <01320>, he will bear <05375> his punishment for iniquity <05771>.’”
