ul to eat, let him pour out its blood, and cover
it with earth.
17:14. For the life of all flesh is in the blood. Therefore I said to
the children of Israel: you shall not eat the blood of any flesh at all,
because the life of the flesh is in the blood, and whosoever eateth it,
shall be cut off.
17:15. The soul that eateth that which died of itself, or has been
caught by a beast, whether he be one of your own country or a stranger,
shall wash his clothes and himself with water, and shall be defiled
until the evening: and in this manner he shall be made clean.
17:16. But if he do not wash his clothes, and his body, he shall bear
his iniquity.

18:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: I am
the Lord your God.
18:3. You shall not do according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in

their ordinances.
18:4. You shall do my judgments, and shall observe my precepts, and
shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.
