Book 03 : TORAH - VAYIKRA (LEVITICUS) - Chapter 017
17:001
And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying
17:002
Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the
children of Israel, and say unto them: This is the thing which HaShem hath
commanded, saying
17:003
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 without the
camp
17:004
and hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of
meeting, to present it as an offering unto HaShem before the tabernacle of
HaShem, blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man
shall be cut off from among his people
17:005
To the end that the children of Israel may bring their
sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring
them unto HaShem, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and
sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings unto HaShem
17:006
And the priest shall dash the blood against the altar of
HaShem at the door of the tent of meeting, and make the fat smoke for a sweet
savour unto HaShem
17:007
And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto the
satyrs, after whom they go astray. This shall be a statute for ever unto them
throughout their generations
17:008
And thou shalt say unto them: Whatsoever man there be of
the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that offereth
a burnt-offering or sacrifice
17:009
and bringeth it not unto the door of the tent of meeting,
to sacrifice it unto HaShem, even that man shall be cut off from his people
17:010
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of
the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will
set My face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among
his people
17:011
For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have
given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the
blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life
17:012
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
17:013
And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or
of the strangers that sojourn among them, that taketh in hunting any beast or
fowl that may be eaten, he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with
dust
17:014
For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is all
one with 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
17:015
And every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or
that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a stranger, he shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even;
then shall he be clean
17:016
But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he
shall bear his iniquity
