17 Then Yahweh said to Moses, 2 “Make sure to speak to Aaron, his living sons, and all the people of Israel. Tell them that I, Yahweh, am giving them the following instructions: 3 This is forbidden: No Israelite should ever kill an ox, a lamb, or a goat either inside or outside of the camp where the Israelites live. 4 This is because when they kill animals either inside or outside of the camp, they have not brought their animals into my presence in the sacred tent. They should offer their animals to me, to Yahweh, in the place where I live among the Israelites. But, because they kill the animals somewhere else, they have shed innocent blood. I, Yahweh, will demand that blood from them. I will make the person who does this an outcast and remove him from my people. 5 The people of Israel should do this so that they will no longer offer any sacrifices in the open fields. Instead, they must offer those sacrifices to me by bringing them to the priest who is at the entrance to the sacred tent. There, they can offer their animals as fellowship offerings to me, to Yahweh. 6 After the priest kills whatever animal the people of Israel bring, he should splatter some of its blood against the altar that belongs to me alone, the one that is located at the entrance to the sacred tent. There, the priest should burn the animal's fat in a way that causes smoke to go up, and I will enjoy the smell of the smoke. 7 Let me be clear: The people of Israel have made a practice of being unfaithful to me by sacrificing to goat demons that they consider to be gods. They should never again sacrifice animals to these demons and supposed gods. These instructions are permanent and enduring; the people of Israel and all their descendants should always observe them.
8 You should also tell Aaron and his sons that this is also forbidden: no native-born Israelite or immigrant who lives among the Israelites should offer wholly burned offerings or any sacrifices 9 without first bringing his animal into my presence in the sacred tent to offer it to me. I, Yahweh, will make the person who does this an outcast. The people of Israel should no longer consider that person to be one of my people.
10 I will oppose any person, whether a native-born Israelite or an immigrant who lives among the Israelites, who consumes any blood. I will make the person who does this an outcast and remove him from my people. 11 This is important to me because the life of every living thing resides in its blood. I myself have specially provided this blood for my people so that I can remove their sins from them when the blood touches the altar. It is through the blood that I am able to accomplish this, because of the life of the animal that is in its blood. 12 It is for this reason that I have told the people of Israel that nobody, including the immigrant who lives with the people of Israel, may ever consume blood.
13 Now it may be that a native-born Israelite or an immigrant who is living with the people of Israel goes hunting and kills wild game or a bird. Provided that whatever they kill is pure and acceptable for eating, whoever killed it should first drain out its blood. Then he should make sure to cover the blood with dirt. 14 The people of Israel should show this kind of reverence because, as I have said before, the life of every living thing resides in its blood. Its blood is its life! That is why I have told the people of Israel that nobody may consume the blood of any living thing. Let me be clear: the life of every living thing resides in its blood. I will make whoever consumes blood an outcast and remove him from my people.
15 Now anybody, whether a native-born Israelite or an immigrant, may eat meat from a dead animal. However, if that animal was dead when they found it and died by natural causes or if a wild animal tore it to pieces, the person who ate the meat of such an animal should wash his clothes and bathe thoroughly. He should consider himself to be impure until the evening of the day on which he ate the animal's meat. After that evening, he should consider himself pure once again. 16 But if the person does not wash his clothes or bathe himself, he is now responsible for addressing his wrongdoing.’ ”
