"Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand on it, and break the staff of its bread, and send famine on it, and cut off from it man and animal;

"Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, 'Sword, go through the land'; so that I cut off from it man and animal;

"Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath on it in blood, to cut off from it man and animal;

"For thus says the Lord GOD: 'How much more when I send my four severe judgments on Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil animals, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and animal.

therefore thus says the Lord GOD, 'I will stretch out my hand on Edom, and will cut off man and animal from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; even to Dedan shall they fall by the sword.

"'Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal from you.

No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of animal shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

and I will multiply on you man and animal; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your former estate, and will do better to you than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I am the LORD.

"You, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD: Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every animal of the field, 'Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.

The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself, or is torn, whether it be bird or animal.
