'Blood' in the Bible

Only, the blood ye do not eat -- on the earth thou dost pour it as water;

Only, be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and thou dost not eat the life with the flesh;

and thou hast made thy burnt-offerings -- the flesh and the blood -- on the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices is poured out by the altar of Jehovah thy God, and the flesh thou dost eat.

Only, its blood thou dost not eat; on the earth thou dost pour it as water.

When anything is too hard for thee for judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke -- matters of strife within thy gates -- then thou hast risen, and gone up unto the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix,

lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the man-slayer when his heart is hot, and hath overtaken him (because the way is great), and hath smitten him -- the life, and he hath no sentence of death, for he is not hating him heretofore;

and innocent blood is not shed in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- an inheritance, and there hath been upon thee blood.

then the elders of his city have sent and taken him from thence, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he hath died;

thine eye hath no pity on him, and thou hast put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with thee.

and they have answered and said, Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen --

receive atonement for Thy people Israel, whom Thou hast ransomed, O Jehovah, and suffer not innocent blood in the midst of Thy people Israel; and the blood hath been pardoned to them,

and thou dost put away the innocent blood out of thy midst, for thou dost that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah.

'When thou buildest a new house, then thou hast made a parapet to thy roof, and thou dost not put blood on thy house when one falleth from it.

Cursed is he who is taking a bribe to smite a person, innocent blood, -- and all the people have said, Amen.

Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams, sons of Bashan, And he-goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape thou dost drink wine!

I make drunk Mine arrows with blood, And My sword devoureth flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the freemen of the enemy.

Sing ye nations -- with his people, For the blood of His servants He avengeth, And vengeance He turneth back on His adversaries, And hath pardoned His land -- His people.'
