Howbeit firmly refrain from eating the blood; for the blood, is the life, - therefore must thou not eat the life with the flesh.

neither shall thine eye pity, - life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

And thy life will be hung up for thee in front, - and thou wilt be in dread by night and by day, and wilt not trust in thy life.

I call to witness against you to-day, the heavens and the earth, that life and death, have I set before thee, the blessing and the curse, - therefore shouldest thou choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;
