Leviticus 17:10-11

Laws Against Eating Blood

10 “If any one of the house of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn among them a eats any blood, I will b set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people. 11  c For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar d to make atonement for your souls e for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.
