1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘This is the thing which Yahweh has commanded: 3 Whatever man there is of the house of Israel who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, 4 and hasn’t brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to offer it as an offering to Yahweh before Yahweh’s tabernacle: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood. That man shall be cut off from among his people. 5 This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Yahweh, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to Yahweh. 6 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on Yahweh’s altar at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. 7 They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.’
8 "You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice, 9 and doesn’t bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to Yahweh, that man shall be cut off from his people.
10 "‘Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood. I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life. 12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, "No person among you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood."
13 "‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust. 14 For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, "You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off."
15 "‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. Then he shall be clean. 16 But if he doesn’t wash them, or 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。"
