Leviticus 17:10-12 ▼

10 As for anyone, whether of the house of Israel or of the aliens residing among them, who consumes any blood, I will set myself against that individual and will cut that person off from among the people,

11 since the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement on the altar for yourselves, because it is the blood as life that makes atonement.

12 That is why I have told the Israelites: No one among you, not even a resident alien, may consume blood.
