17:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17:2 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and
thou shalt say to them, This is the word which the Lord has commanded,
saying,
17:3 Every man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers abiding among
you, who shall kill a calf, or a sheep, or a goat in the camp, or who shall
kill it out of the camp,
17:4 and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so as
to sacrifice it for a whole-burnt-offering or peace-offering to the Lord to
be acceptable for a sweet-smelling savour: and whosoever shall slay it
without, and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness, so
as to offer it as a gift to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord;
blood shall be imputed to that man, he has shed blood; that soul shall be
cut off from his people.
17:5 That the children of Israel may offer their sacrifices, all that they
shall slay in the fields, and bring them to the Lord unto the doors of the
tabernacle of witness to the priest, and they shall sacrifice them as a
peace-offering to the Lord.
17:6 And the priest shall pour the blood on the altar round about before the
Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall offer the fat for
a sweet-smelling savour to the Lord.
17:7 And they shall no longer offer their sacrifices to vain [gods] after
which they go a whoring; it shall be a perpetual statute to you for your
generations.
17:8 And thou shalt say to them, Whatever man of the children of Israel, or
of the sons of the proselytes abiding among you, shall offer a
whole-burnt-offering or a sacrifice,
17:9 and shall not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of witness to
sacrifice it to the Lord, that man shall be destroyed from among his people.
17:10 And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers
abiding among you, shall eat any blood, I will even set my face against that
soul that eats blood, and will destroy it from its people.
17:11 For the life of flesh is its blood, and I have given it to you on the
altar to make atonement for your souls; for its blood shall make atonement
for the soul.
17:12 Therefore I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat
blood, and the stranger that abides among you shall not eat blood.
17:13 And whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers
abiding among you shall take any animal in hunting, beast, or bird, which is
eaten, then shall he pour out the blood, and cover it in the dust.
17:14 For the blood of all flesh is its life; and I said to the children of
Israel, Ye shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh
is its blood: every one that eats it shall be destroyed.
17:15 And every soul which eats that which has died of itself, or is taken
of beasts, either among the natives or among the strangers, shall wash his
garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening:
then shall he be clean.
17:16 But if he do not wash his garments, and do not bathe his body in
water, then shall he bear his iniquity. |
17:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17:2 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,
17:3 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,
17:4 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:
17:5 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.
17:6 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
savor unto the LORD.
17:7 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.
17:8 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,
17:9 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.
17:10 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.
17:11 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.
17:12 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.
17:13 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.
17:14 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.
17:15 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.
17:16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his
iniquity. |
