DEUTERONOMY 12:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.”
But be sure you do not eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat — the blood prohibition is re-emphasized with theological reasoning: blood is the nephesh (life-force), and consuming it constitutes consuming life itself. This prohibition applies universally, not merely in sacrificial contexts.
