And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth. For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of. And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.

And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord. Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire. If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord. read more.
And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.

When the Lord your God makes wide the limit of your land, as he has said, and you say, I will take flesh for my food, because you have a desire for it; then you may take whatever flesh you have a desire for. If the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name is far away from you, then take from your herds and from your flocks which the Lord has given you, as I have said, and have a meal of it in the towns where you may be living. It will be your food, like the gazelle and the roe; the unclean and the clean may take of it. read more.
But see that you do not take the blood for food; for the blood is the life; and you may not make use of the life as food with the flesh. Do not take it for food but let it be drained out on the earth like water. Do not take it for food; so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, while you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

It may be used for food in your houses: the unclean and the clean may take of it, as of the gazelle and the roe. Only do not take its blood for food, but let it be drained out on the earth like water.
