4 ^yBut you shall not eat flesh with its ^zlife, that is, its blood.

14 For the life of every creature¹ is its blood: its blood is its life.² Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.

23 Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for ^uthe blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the flesh.
