Leviticus 17:13-15

13So when anyone from the sons of Israel, or from the strangers who reside among them, 1while hunting catches an animal or a bird which may be eaten, 2he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dirt.

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.’ 15And 7any person who eats an animal which dies or is torn by animals, whether he is a native or a stranger, shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening; then he will become clean.
