10 If anyone from the house of Israel (he wrestles with God) or a foreigner living among them eats any blood, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from among his people.

11 For the life \the soul/ of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you⁺ to make atonement for your⁺ souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.

12 Therefore I say to the Israelites (God prevails), ‘None of you⁺ may eat blood, nor may any foreigner living among you⁺ eat blood.’
