Leviticus 17:13 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 The Lord said to Moses,
2 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the Israelites. Tell them this is what the Lord has commanded:
3 Any one of you Israelites might kill a bull, a lamb, or a goat. You might be in the camp or outside the camp.
4 It doesn't matter; you must bring that animal to the entrance of the Meeting Tent. You must give a part of that animal as a gift to the Lord. You spilled blood, so you must take a gift to the Lord's Holy Tent. If you don't take part of the animal as a gift to the Lord, you must be separated from your people!
5 This rule is so that you will bring your fellowship offering to the Lord. You must bring any animal that you kill in the field to the Lord at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. Bring those animals to the priest.
6 Then the priest will throw their blood onto the Lord's altar near the entrance of the Meeting Tent. And the priest will burn the fat from those animals on the altar as a sweet-smelling gift to the Lord.
7 In this way you will stop being unfaithful to me by offering sacrifices to your 'goat gods.' This law will continue forever.
8 "Tell the people: Any citizen of Israel, traveler, or foreigner living among you might want to offer a burnt offering or some other sacrifice.
9 They must take the sacrifice to the entrance of the Meeting Tent and offer it to the Lord. Whoever does not do this will be separated from their people.
10 "I will turn against those who eat blood. Whether they are citizens of Israel or foreigners living among you, I will separate them from their people.
11 This is because the life of the body is in the blood. I have told you that you must pour the blood on the altar to purify yourselves. Blood is what makes a person pure.
12 That is why I am telling you Israelites and the foreigners living among you that you must not eat blood.
13 "If any of you, whether Israelite or foreigner living among you, goes hunting and kills a wild animal or bird that you are allowed to eat, you must pour the blood of that animal on the ground and cover it with dirt.
14 This is because the life of every kind of animal is in its blood. So I give this command to the Israelites: Don't eat meat that still has blood in it! Whoever eats blood must be separated from their people.
15 "If any of you, whether Israelite or foreigner living among you, eats an animal that died by itself or was killed by some other animal, you will be unclean until evening. You must wash your clothes and bathe your whole body with water.
16 If you don't wash your clothes and bathe your whole body, you will be responsible for your guilt."
1 And the LORD H3068 EDS spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,

3 What man soever H376 NMS there be of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , that H834 RPRO killeth H7819 an ox H7794 CMS , or H176 CONJ lamb H3775 , or H176 CONJ goat H5795 , in the camp H4264 , or H176 CONJ that H834 RPRO killeth H7819 it out of the camp H4264 ,
4 And bringeth H935 it not H3808 NADV unto H413 W-PREP the door H6607 CMS of the tabernacle H168 NMS of the congregation H4150 NMS , to offer H7126 an offering H7133 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS before H6440 L-CMP the tabernacle H4908 of the LORD H3068 EDS ; blood H1818 NMS shall be imputed H2803 unto that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS man H376 D-NMS ; he hath shed H8210 blood H1818 NMS ; and that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS man H376 D-NMS shall be cut off H3772 from among H7130 his people H5971 :
5 To the end H4616 L-CONJ that H834 RPRO the children H1121 of Israel H3478 may bring H935 their sacrifices H2077 , which H834 RPRO they H1992 PPRO-3MP offer H2076 in H5921 PREP the open H6440 CMP field H7704 D-NMS , even that they may bring H935 them unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS , unto H413 PREP the door H6607 CMS of the tabernacle H168 NMS of the congregation H4150 NMS , unto H413 PREP the priest H3548 , and offer H2076 them for peace H8002 offerings H2077 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS .
6 And the priest H3548 shall sprinkle H2236 the blood H1818 upon H5921 PREP the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 EDS at the door H6607 CMS of the tabernacle H168 NMS of the congregation H4150 NMS , and burn H6999 the fat H2459 for a sweet H5207 savor H7381 unto the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
7 And they shall no H3808 W-NPAR more H5750 ADV offer H2076 their sacrifices H2077 unto devils H8163 , after H310 whom H834 RPRO they H1992 PPRO-3MP have gone a whoring H2181 . This H2063 DPRO-3FS shall be H1961 VQY2MS a statute H2708 forever H5769 NMS unto them throughout their generations H1755 .
8 And thou shalt say H559 unto H413 them , Whatsoever man H376 NMS there be of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , or of H4480 W-PREP the strangers H1616 which H834 RPRO sojourn H1481 among H8432 you , that H834 RPRO offereth H5927 VQY3MS a burnt offering H5930 or H176 CONJ sacrifice H2077 ,
9 And bringeth H935 it not H3808 NADV unto H413 W-PREP the door H6607 CMS of the tabernacle H168 NMS of the congregation H4150 NMS , to offer H6213 L-VQFC it unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS ; even that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS man H376 D-NMS shall be cut off H3772 from among his people H5971 .
10 And whatsoever man H376 NMS there be of the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , or of H4480 W-PREP the strangers H1616 that sojourn H1481 among H8432 you , that H834 RPRO eateth H398 VQY3MS any manner H3605 NMS of blood H1818 NMS ; I will even set H5414 my face H6440 CMP-1MS against that soul H5315 that eateth H398 blood H1818 , and will cut him off H3772 from among H7130 his people H5971 .
11 For H3588 CONJ the life H5315 GFS of the flesh H1320 D-NMS is in the blood H1818 : and I H589 W-PPRO-1MS have given H5414 it to you upon H5921 PREP the altar H4196 D-NMS to make an atonement H3722 for H5921 PREP your souls H5315 GFS : for H3588 CONJ it H1931 PPRO-3FS is the blood H1818 that maketh an atonement H3722 for the soul H5315 GFS .
12 Therefore H5921 PREP I said H559 VQQ1MS unto the children H1121 L-CMP of Israel H3478 , No H3808 NADV soul H5315 GFS of H4480 M-PPRO-2MS you shall eat H398 VQY2MS blood H1818 NMS , neither H3808 NADV shall any stranger H1616 that sojourneth H1481 among H8432 you eat H398 VQY3MS blood H1818 NMS .
13 And whatsoever man H376 NMS there be of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , or of H4480 W-PREP the strangers H1616 that sojourn H1481 among H8432 you , which H834 RPRO hunteth H6679 and catcheth H6718 any beast H2416 AFS or H176 CONJ fowl H5775 NMS that H834 RPRO may be eaten H398 ; he shall even pour out H8210 the blood H1818 CMS-3MS thereof , and cover H3680 it with dust H6083 .
14 For H3588 CONJ it is the life H5315 GFS of all H3605 NMS flesh H1320 NMS ; the blood H1818 CMS-3MS of it is for the life H5315 GFS thereof : therefore I said H559 unto the children H1121 L-CMP of Israel H3478 , Ye shall eat H398 the blood H1818 CMS of no manner H3605 NMS of flesh H1320 NMS : for H3588 CONJ the life H5315 GFS of all H3605 NMS flesh H1320 NMS is the blood H1818 CMS-3MS thereof : whosoever H3605 NMS eateth H398 it shall be cut off H3772 .
15 And every H3605 W-CMS soul H5315 GFS that H834 RPRO eateth H398 VQY2MS that which died H5038 of itself , or that which was torn H2966 with beasts , whether it be one of your own country H249 , or a stranger H1616 , he shall both wash H3526 his clothes H899 , and bathe H7364 himself in water H4325 BD-NMP , and be unclean H2930 until H5704 PREP the even H6153 : then shall he be clean H2891 .
