Leviticus Chapter 17

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

<>the LORD spake, <>Moses

2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,

<>sons, <>children, <>Israel, <>the LORD hath commanded

3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,

<>vv. 3-4, <>house, <>lamb

4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

<>vv. 3-4, <>the door of the tabernacle, <>congregation, <>blood shall be imputed unto that man, <>cut off from among his people

5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.

<>bring them unto the LORD, <>priest, <>peace offerings, <>peace

6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

<>sprinkle the blood, <>the altar of the LORD, <>burn the fat, <>a sweet savour unto the LORD, <>a sweet savour

7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.

<>they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, <>no more, <>gone a whoring

8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,

<>strangers, <>burnt offering

9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.

10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

<>vv. 10-12, <>I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood

11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

<>vv. 10-12, <>I have given, <>to make an atonement … maketh an atonement

12 Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.

<>vv. 10-12

13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

<>Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh

15 And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.

<>that which was torn with beasts, <>your own country, <>country, <>wash his clothes, <>until the even

16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
