KJB-1611 1 The blood of all slaine beasts must be offered to the LORD at the doore of the Tabernacle. 7 They must not offer to deuils. 10 All eating of blood is forbidden, 15 and all that dieth alone, or is torne.
(1 The blood of all slain/killed beasts/animals must be offered to the LORD at the door of the Tabernacle. 7 They must not offer to devils. 10 All eating of blood is forbidden, 15 and all that dieth/dies alone, or is torne.)
This chapter contains Yahweh’s laws about proper sacrifice and handling of blood. The structure of this chapter is as follows: 1) Laws about where to sacrifice (17:1-9) A. Sacrifices must be brought to the tabernacle (17:1-7) B. Punishment for sacrificing elsewhere (17:8-9) 2) Laws about blood (17:10-16) A. Prohibition against eating blood (17:10-12) B. Proper handling of blood from hunted animals (17:13-14) C. Rules about eating animals found dead (17:15-16)
The chapter often uses the phrase “cut off from his people” as a picture of punishment. This means the person:- Cannot live with their community anymore- Is separated like a branch cut from a tree- Must leave their peopleYour language might need a different way to express this idea of being forced to leave the community.
Many actions are written in passive form (“he shall be cut off”) rather than active form (“you must separate him”). Your language might need to say who does the action. For example:- “shall be cut off” → “must leave the community”- “that is torn” → “that wild animals have killed”
The chapter uses several word pictures that might be hard to translate:- “Set my face against” means “firmly decide to oppose”- “Prostituting themselves” means “being unfaithful to Yahweh”- “Carry his iniquity” means “be responsible for his sin”
The chapter talks about blood in special ways:- “The life is in the blood” - means blood keeps creatures alive- “Blood makes atonement” - means God uses blood to forgive sins- “Eat blood” - means eat meat that still has blood in it
This chapter teaches important rules about sacrifice:- All sacrifices must be made at the Dwelling Place- Only priests can offer sacrifices- Sacrificing anywhere else was strictly forbidden- This helped prevent people from worshiping false gods
Blood had special meaning because:- It represented life- God set it apart for making atonement- It could not be eaten- Special rules applied to handling it
The chapter includes rules about:- What makes a person unclean- How long they stay unclean- How they become clean again- What happens if they don’t follow the rules(See: priest, falsegod, life, blood, and clean)
