Leviticus 17:13-15

13So when any man from the sons of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, 1in hunting catches a beast or a bird which may be eaten, 2he shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth.

14“3For as for the 4life of all flesh, its blood is identified with its 5life. Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘You are not to eat the blood of any flesh, for the 6life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off.’ 157When any person eats an animal which dies or is torn by beasts, whether he is a native or an alien, he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening; then he will become clean.
