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.
017:006 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of Yahweh at
the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet
savor to Yahweh.
017:007 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.'
017:008 "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,
017:009 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.
017:010 "'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.
017:011 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and 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.
017:012 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, "No person
among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives
as a foreigner among you eat blood."
017:013 "'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.
017:014 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."
017:015 "'Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is
torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner,
he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean.
017:016 But if he doesn't wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall
bear his iniquity.'"
018:001 Yahweh said to Moses,
018:002 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'I am
Yahweh your God.
018:003 You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived:
and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I
am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.
018:004 You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes,
