Leviticus 17

1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to Aaron and to sons his and to all [the] people of Israel and you will say to them this [is] the thing which he has commanded Yahweh saying.

“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the people of Israel. Tell them what Yahweh has commanded:

3 A person a person from [the] house of Israel who he will cut [the] throat of an ox or a young ram or a goat in the camp or who he will cut [the] throat of [it] from [the] outside of the camp.

'Any man from Israel who kills an ox, lamb, or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, in order to sacrifice it—

4 And to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting not he has brought it to present a present to Yahweh before [the] dwelling place of Yahweh blood it will be reckoned to the person that blood he has shed and he will be cut off the person that from among people his.

if he does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to offer it as a sacrifice to Yahweh before his tabernacle, that man is guilty of bloodshed. He has shed blood, and that man must be cut off from among his people.

5 So that that they may bring [the] people of Israel sacrifices their which they [are] sacrificing on [the] face of the field and they will bring them to Yahweh to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting to the priest and they will sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings to Yahweh them.

The purpose of this command is so that the people of Israel will bring their sacrifices to Yahweh at the entrance to the tent of meeting, to the priest to be sacrificed as fellowship offerings to Yahweh, instead of offering sacrifices in an open field.

6 And he will sprinkle the priest the blood on [the] altar of Yahweh [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting and he will make smoke the fat to an odor of soothing to Yahweh.

The priest will sprinkle the blood on Yahweh's altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting; he will burn the fat for it to produce a sweet aroma for Yahweh.

7 And not they will sacrifice again sacrifices their to the goat idols which they [are] prostituting themselves after them a statute of perpetuity it will be this for them to generations their.

The people must no longer offer their sacrifices to goat idols, for which they act as prostitutes. This will be a permanent statute for them throughout their people's generations.'

8 And to them you will say a person a person from [the] house of Israel and of the sojourner[s] who he will sojourn in midst of them who he will offer up a burnt offering or a sacrifice.

You must say to them, 'Any man of Israel, or any foreigner who lives among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice

9 And to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting not he will bring it to offer it to Yahweh and he will be cut off the person that from kinspeople his.

and does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting in order to sacrifice it to Yahweh, that man must be cut off from his people.

10 And a person a person from [the] house of Israel and of the sojourner[s] who sojourns in midst of them who he will eat any blood and I will set face my on the person who eats blood and I will cut off it from among people its.

If any person of the house of Israel, or any foreigner who lives among them consumes any blood, I will set my face against that person who consumes blood and I will cut him off from among his people.

11 For [the] life of the flesh [is] in the blood it and I I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement on selves your for [is] the blood it [which] by the life it makes atonement.

For the life of an animal is in its blood. I have given its blood to you to make atonement on the altar for your lives, because it is the blood that makes atonement, for it is the blood that atones for the life.

12 There-fore I have said to [the] people of Israel any person from you not it will eat blood and the sojourner who sojourns in midst of you not he will eat blood.

Therefore I said to the people of Israel that no one among you must eat blood, neither may any foreigner who lives among you eat blood.

13 And a person a person from [the] people of Israel and of the sojourner[s] who sojourns in midst of them who he will hunt hunted game of an animal or a bird which it will be eaten and he will pour out blood its and he will cover it with dust.

Anyone of the people of Israel, or any of the foreigners who live among them, who hunts and kills an animal or bird that may be eaten, that person must pour out its blood and cover the blood with earth.

14 For [the] life of all flesh blood its [is] life its it and I have said to [the] people of Israel [the] blood of any flesh not you must eat for [the] life of all flesh [is] blood its it all [those who] eat it he will be cut off.

For the life of each creature is its blood. That is why I said to the people of Israel, “You must not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every living creature is its blood. Whoever eats it must be cut off.”

15 And every person who it will eat a carcass and a torn animal among the native-born and among the sojourner and he will wash garments his and he will wash with water and he will be unclean until the evening and he will be pure.

Every person who eats an animal that has died or that has been torn by wild animals, whether that person is native born or a foreigner living among you, he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until the evening. Then he will be clean.

16 And if not he will wash and body his not he will wash and he will bear iniquity his.

But if he does not wash his clothes or bathe his body, then he must carry his guilt.'”
