Leviticus 17

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

The Lord passionately communicated with Moses, expressing,

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,

Tell Aaron, his sons, and all of Israel's children, here's what the LORD has commanded:

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,

Any man from Israel's family, who takes the life of an ox, lamb, or goat, whether inside or outside the camp,

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:

and does not bring it to the entrance of the sacred tent to present it as an offering to God before his tabernacle, that man is guilty of bloodshed. He has spilled blood, and he will be cut off from his people.

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.

So that the children of Israel may present their offerings, previously made in open fields, directly to the Lord. They should bring them to the entrance of the meeting tent, to the priest, and give them as peace offerings to the Lord.

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.

The priest will gently splash the blood on God's altar at the entrance of the sacred tent, and burn the fat, releasing a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

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 will no longer give offerings to demons, prostituting themselves by chasing after them. This rule will stand forever, passed down through their generations.

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,

Tell them, anyone, whether an Israelite or a foreigner living among you, who offers a sacrifice,

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.

If you don't bring your offering to the Lord's temple, you'll be separated from your community.

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.

Anyone, whether a native or a foreigner living among you, who consumes blood, will face my wrath. I will personally ensure they are removed from their community.

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.

The essence of life lies within the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls. For it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.

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.

I told the people of Israel, none of you, nor any visitor among you, should consume blood.

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.

Any person, whether a native of Israel or a visitor, who hunts an animal or bird for food must drain its blood and cover it with earth, out of respect and reverence.

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.

Every living creature's life is in its blood, which gives it life. That's why I told the people of Israel not to consume any animal's blood. Because the life of every creature is in its blood. Anyone who consumes it will be separated from the community.

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.

If anyone consumes meat from an animal that died naturally or was killed by other animals, regardless of whether they're a local or a foreigner, they must clean their clothes, take a bath, and consider themselves impure until the evening. After that, they will be pure again.

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

If he doesn't cleanse himself, he'll carry his guilt.
