1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,
3 Every one of the house of Israel that slaughtereth an ox, or sheep, or goat, in the camp, or that slaughtereth it out of the camp,
4 and doth not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to Jehovah, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood shall be reckoned unto that man: he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people,
5 to the end that the children of Israel bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they bring them to Jehovah, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah.
6 And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet odour to Jehovah.
7 And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto demons, after whom they go a whoring. This shall be an everlasting statute unto them for their generations.
8 And thou shalt say unto them, Every one of the house of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among them, that offereth up a burnt-offering or sacrifice,
9 and bringeth it not to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to offer it up to Jehovah-that man shall be cut off from his peoples.
10 And every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, -I will set my face against the soul that hath eaten blood, and will cut him off from among his people;
11 for the soul 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 for the soul.
12 Therefore have I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall the stranger who sojourneth among you eat blood.
13 And every one of the children of Israel, and of the strangers who sojourn among them, that catcheth in the hunt a beast or fowl that may be eaten, he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with earth;
14 for as to the life of all flesh, its blood is the life in it; and I have said unto the children of Israel, Of the blood of no manner of flesh shall ye eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood: whoever eateth it shall be cut off.
15 And every soul that eateth of a dead carcase, or of that which was torn, be it one home-born, or a stranger, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even: then he shall be clean.
16 And if he wash them not nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.
1 耶和华对摩西说：
2 "你要告诉亚伦和他的儿子， 以及以色列人， 对他们说： 这是耶和华的吩咐：
3 以色列家的任何人， 不论在营内， 或在营外， 宰杀公牛、绵羊或山羊，
4 而不牵到会幕门口， 耶和华的帐幕面前， 献给耶和华作供物， 流血的罪就要归到那人身上； 他既然流了牲畜的血， 就必从自己的族人中被剪除。
5 这条例的目的是要以色列人把他们惯常在田野里宰杀的祭牲， 带去给耶和华， 到会幕门口交给祭司， 好像献给耶和华作平安祭那样宰杀牲畜。
6 祭司要把血泼在会幕门口耶和华的祭坛上， 把脂肪焚烧， 献给耶和华作馨香的祭。
7 他们不可再杀祭牲， 献给那些山羊， 就是他们所随从行邪淫的鬼神。这要作他们世世代代永远的律例。
8 "你要对他们说： 以色列家的任何人， 或是在你们中间寄居的外人， 献燔祭或是平安祭的时候，
9 如果不牵到会幕门口， 把它献给耶和华， 那人就必从自己的族人中被剪除。
10 "以色列家的任何人， 或是在你们中间寄居的外人， 如果吃了任何血， 我必向那吃血的人变脸， 把他从自己的族人中剪除。
11 因为动物的生命是在血里， 我指定这祭坛上的血代替你们的生命， 因为血里有生命， 所以能代赎生命。
12 所以我对以色列人说： 你们中间任何人都不可吃血， 在你们中间寄居的外人也不可吃血。
13 任何以色列人， 或是在你们中间寄居的外人中， 有人打猎得了可以吃的禽兽， 总要放尽它的血， 用泥土掩盖。
14 "因为所有动物的生命就在它们的血中， 所以我对以色列人说： 任何动物的血， 你们都不可吃； 因为所有动物的血， 就是它的生命； 吃血的， 必被剪除。
15 吃了自死的， 或是被野兽撕裂的动物， 无论是本地人或是寄居的， 都要洗净自己的衣服， 用水洗澡， 并且不洁净到晚上， 以后他才算洁净。
16 但是， 如果他不洗净衣服， 也不洗身， 他就要担当自己的罪责。"
