Leviticus 17:13-15

13And whatsoever manH376 there be of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, or of the strangersH1616 that sojournH1481 amongH8432 you, which huntethH6679 and catchethH6718 any beastH2416 or fowlH5775 that may be eatenH398; he shall even pourH8210 out the bloodH1818 thereof, and coverH3680 it with dustH6083.1

14For it is the lifeH5315 of all fleshH1320; the bloodH1818 of it is for the lifeH5315 thereof: therefore I saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye shall eatH398 the bloodH1818 of no manner of fleshH1320: for the lifeH5315 of all fleshH1320 is the bloodH1818 thereof: whosoever eatethH398 it shall be cut offH3772.

15And every soulH5315 that eatethH398 that which diedH5038 of itself, or that which was tornH2966 with beasts, whether it be one of your own countryH249, or a strangerH1616, he shall both washH3526 his clothesH899, and batheH7364 himself in waterH4325, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153: then shall he be cleanH2891.2
