The Life of the Flesh is in the Blood - Leviticus 17

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the  children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing  which the LORD hath commanded, saying. Leviticus 17:1 -2 KJV

Leviticus 17:3 What  man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an  ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of  the camp, 

Leviticus 17:4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the  tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the  LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be  imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man  shall be cut off from among his people: 

Leviticus 17:5 To the end  that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which  they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them  unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the  congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace  offerings unto the LORD. 

Leviticus 17:6 And the priest shall  sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door  of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a  sweet savour unto the LORD. 

Leviticus 17:7 And they shall no  more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have  gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them  throughout their generations.   

Leviticus 17:8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man  there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which  sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering of  sacrifice, 

Leviticus 17:9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the  tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD;  even that man shall be cut off from among his people.  

Leviticus 17:10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of  Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that  eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against  that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among  his people. 

Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood:  and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an  atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh  an atonement for the soul. 

Leviticus 17:12 Therefore I said unto the  children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither  shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.  

Leviticus 17:13 And whatsoever man there be of the children of  Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which  hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he  shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.  

Leviticus 17:14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for  the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel,  Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of  all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be  cut off. 

Leviticus 17:15 And every soul that eateth that which died  of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it  be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both  wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be  unclean until the even: then shall he be clean. 

Leviticus 17:16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear  his iniquity.
