17 ‎[1] Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying: ‎[2] Speak to Aharon and to his sons and to all Bnei Yisroel and say to them; this is the edict that Adonoy commanded, saying: ‎[3] Each and every person of the House of Israel who will slaughter an ox, lamb, or goat within the encampment or who will slaughter [it] beyond the encampment. ‎[4] And to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting he did not bring it so that it may be brought as an offering to [**before**] Adonoy, before the Mishkan of Adonoy; it shall be considered for that person as blood, he has spilled blood, and that person shall be cut off from among his people. ‎[5] So that Bnei Yisroel shall bring their sacrifices that they [would] slaughter on the field, and [instead] they shall bring them to [**before**] Adonoy to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, to the *kohein*, and slaughter them as peace[**sacred**]-offerings to [**before**] Adonoy. ‎[6] The *kohein* shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of Adonoy at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing fragrance to [**to be accepted with favor before**] Adonoy. ‎[7] They shall no longer slaughter their sacrifices to the demons after which they go astray. This shall be an everlasting statute for them, for their descendants. ‎[8] To them you shall say: each and every person of the House of Israel and from the proselyte who will reside [**convert**] among them, who will bring a burnt-offering or sacrifice [**sacred-offering**], ‎[9] and to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting he does not bring it, that it be offered to [**before**] Adonoy; that person shall be cut off from his people. ‎[10] Each and every person of the House of Israel and from the proselyte who resides [**converts**] among them who will eat any blood; I shall direct my anger on the soul of him [**person**] who eats the blood and I will cut it off from among its people. ‎[11] For [the] soul of the body is in the blood and I have given it to you [to be placed] on the altar to achieve atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that will achieve atonement for the soul. ‎[12] Therefore, I have said to Bnei Yisroel: Every soul [**person**] among you shall not eat blood. The proselyte residing [**that converts**] among you shall not eat blood. ‎[13] Each and every person of the House of Israel and from the proselyte residing [**that converts**] among them who will ensnare [the catch] any wild animal or fowl that is permitted to be eaten, he shall spill its blood and cover it with earth. ‎[14] For [as to] the life of all flesh, its blood is its life, and I have said to Bnei Yisroel: The blood of any flesh, you should not eat, for, the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats of it, shall be cut off. ‎[15] Anybody that will eat an improperly slaughtered animal or an animal with a fatal defect among the native-born [**settled one**] and the proselyte, shall wash his clothing and bathe in water and is impure until the evening, and [then] becomes purified. ‎[16] If he does not wash [his clothes] and does not bathe his flesh, he bears [the burden of] his iniquity.
