23 Only be sure (A)not to eat the blood, for the blood is the (a)life, and you shall not eat the (b)life with the flesh. 24 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the ground like water. 25 You shall not eat it, so that (B)it may be well with you and your sons after you, for (C)you will be doing what is right in the sight of the Lord.
