New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Leviticus 17
12 Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ’No person among you may eat blood, nor may any alien who sojourns among you eat blood.’
13 So when any man from the sons of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them, in hunting catches a beast or a bird which may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth.
14 "For as for the life of all flesh, its blood is identified with its life. Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ’You are not to eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off.’
15 When any person eats an animal which dies or is torn by beasts, whether he is a native or an alien, he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening; then he will become clean.
16 But if he does not wash them or bathe his body, then he shall bear his guilt."
Leviticus 18
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ’I am the Lord your God.
3 You shall not do what is done in the land of Egypt where you lived, nor are you to do what is done in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you; you shall not walk in their statutes.
4 You are to perform My judgments and keep My statutes, to live in accord with them; I am the Lord your God.
5 So you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, by which a man may live if he does them; I am the Lord.
6 ’None of you shall approach any blood relative of his to uncover nakedness; I am the Lord.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
