The cohen will splash the blood against the altar of ADONAI at the entrance to the tent of meeting and make the fat go up in smoke as a pleasing aroma for ADONAI.

without bringing it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to sacrifice it to ADONAI, that person is to be cut off from his people.

When someone from the community of Isra'el or one of the foreigners living with you eats any kind of blood, I will set myself against that person who eats blood and cut him off from his people.

For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for yourselves; for it is the blood that makes atonement because of the life.'

This is why I told the people of Isra'el, 'None of you is to eat blood, nor is any foreigner living with you to eat blood.'

For the life of every creature - its blood is its life. Therefore I said to the people of Isra'el, 'You are not to eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood. Whoever eats it will be cut off.'

ADONAI said to Moshe,

"Speak to the people of Isra'el; tell them, 'I am ADONAI your God.

You are not to engage in the activities found in the land of Egypt, where you used to live; and you are not to engage in the activities found in the land of Kena'an, where I am bringing you; nor are you to live by their laws.

You are to obey my rulings and laws and live accordingly; I am ADONAI your God.

You are to observe my laws and rulings; if a person does them, he will have life through them; I am ADONAI.

"'None of you is to approach anyone who is a close relative in order to have sexual relations; I am ADONAI.

"'You are not to let any of your children be sacrificed to Molekh, thereby profaning the name of your God; I am ADONAI.

"'Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, because all the nations which I am expelling ahead of you are defiled with them.

The land has become unclean, and this is why I am punishing it - the land itself will vomit out its inhabitants.

But you are to keep my laws and rulings and not engage in any of these disgusting practices, neither the citizen nor the foreigner living with you;

So keep my charge not to follow any of these abominable customs that others before you have followed and thus defile yourselves by doing them. I am ADONAI your God.'"

ADONAI said to Moshe,

"Speak to the entire community of Isra'el; tell them, 'You people are to be holy because I, ADONAI your God, am holy.

"'Every one of you is to revere his father and mother, and you are to keep my Shabbats; I am ADONAI your God.

"'Do not turn to idols, and do not cast metal gods for yourselves; I am ADONAI your God.

"'When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to ADONAI, offer it in a way that will make you accepted.

moreover, everyone who eats it will bear the consequences of profaning something holy meant for ADONAI -that person will be cut off from his people.

Likewise, don't gather the grapes left on the vine or fallen on the ground after harvest; leave them for the poor and the foreigner; I am ADONAI your God.

Do not swear by my name falsely, which would be profaning the name of your God; I am ADONAI.
