1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak 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, 3What 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, 4And 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: 5To 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. 6And 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. 7And 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.
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, 9And 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. 11For 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. 12Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13And 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.17.13 which…: Heb. that hunteth any hunting 14For 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. 15And 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.17.15 that which died…: Heb. a carcase 16But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
杀祭牲的条例
1耶和华对摩西说： 2“你把以下条例告诉亚伦父子们及全体以色列人。
3“任何在营内或营外宰杀公牛、绵羊或山羊的以色列人， 4若没有把牲畜带到会幕门口，在耶和华的圣幕前献给耶和华，便是犯了流血之罪，要将他从民中铲除。 5这是为促使以色列人把祭牲带到会幕门口交给祭司，献给耶和华作平安祭，而非在野外杀祭牲献祭。 6祭司要将祭牲的血洒在会幕门口耶和华的祭坛上，把脂肪焚烧献给耶和华作馨香之祭。 7他们不可再献祭物给山羊神，与其苟合。这是一条永远不变的律例，他们世世代代都要遵守。 8不论是以色列人，还是寄居在以色列人中间的外族人，献燔祭或其他祭物时， 9如果有人没把祭物带到会幕门口献给耶和华，要将他从民中铲除。
禁止吃血
10“任何以色列人或寄居在以色列人中间的外族人若吃血，耶和华必严惩，把他从民中铲除。 11因为生命在血中，耶和华把血赐给你们，使你们可以用血在祭坛上为自己赎罪。血可以为人的生命赎罪。 12所以耶和华吩咐以色列人和寄居在以色列人中间的外族人不可吃血。 13以色列人或寄居在以色列人中间的外族人如果捕到可吃的鸟或兽，必须放尽它的血，用土掩埋， 14因为众生的生命都在血中。因此，耶和华吩咐以色列人不可吃任何动物的血，因为血就是生命。凡吃血的都要被铲除。 15不论以色列人还是外族人，若吃了自然死亡或被野兽撕裂的动物，就不洁净。他必须洗衣、沐浴，等到傍晚才能洁净， 16否则他要承担罪责。”
