Forbidden Sacrifices

1The Lord spoke to Moses:

2“Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them: This is what the Lord has commanded:

3Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters17:3 Dt 12:5–21 an ox, sheep, or goat in the camp, or slaughters it outside the camp,

4instead of bringing it to the entrance to the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to the Lord before his tabernacle — that person will be considered guilty.17:4 Lit tabernacle — blood will be charged against that person17:4 Ex 22:1; Lv 20:9; Nm 35:27; Dt 19:10; Ps 55:23; Is 33:15 He has shed blood17:4 Gn 9:6 and is to be cut off from his people.17:4 Nm 9:13

5This is so the Israelites will bring to the Lord the sacrifices17:5 Gn 46:1; Ex 34:25 they have been offering in the open country. They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting and offer them as fellowship sacrifices17:5 Lv 7:11 to the Lord.

6The priest will then splatter the blood on the Lord’s altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

7They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat-demons17:7 2Ch 11:15; Is 13:21; 34:14 that they have prostituted17:7 Dt 22:21 themselves with. This will be a permanent statute17:7 Gn 26:5; Ex 12:14; Lv 3:17; Nm 9:3; Dt 6:2; 8:11 for them throughout their generations.

8“Say to them: Anyone from the house of Israel or from the aliens17:8 Gn 19:9; Ex 2:22 who reside among them who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice

9but does not bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting to sacrifice it to the Lord, that person is to be cut off from his people.

Eating Blood and Carcasses Prohibited

10“Anyone from the house of Israel or from the aliens who reside among them who eats any blood,17:10 Gn 9:4; Lv 3:17 I will turn17:10 Lit will set my face against that person who eats blood and cut him off from his people.

11For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have appointed it to you to make atonement on the altar for17:11 Or to ransom your lives, since it is the lifeblood that makes atonement.17:11 Mt 26:28; Mk 14:24; Rm 3:25; 5:9; Eph 1:7; Col 1:14,20; Heb 13:12; 1Jn 1:7; Rv 1:5

12Therefore I say to the Israelites: None of you and no alien who resides among you may eat blood.

13“Any Israelite or alien residing among them, who hunts17:13 Gn 25:27 down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten must drain its blood17:13 Ex 29:12; Lv 17:4; Dt 12:16,24; 15:23; Ezk 24:7 and cover it with dirt.

14Since the life of every creature is its blood, I have told the Israelites: You are not to eat the blood of any creature,17:14 Lv 3:17 because the life of every creature is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.

15“Every person, whether the native or the resident alien,17:15 Lv 16:29 who eats an animal that died a natural death or was mauled by wild beasts17:15 Ex 22:31; Lv 7:24; 22:8; Dt 14:21 is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening; then he will be clean.

16But if he does not wash his clothes and bathe himself, he will bear his iniquity.”
