Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 17

Lev 17:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 17:2 “Speak to Aharon, to his sons, and to all the children of Yisra’ĕl,
and say to them, ‘This is the word which יהוה has commanded, saying,
Lev 17:3 “Any man from the house of Yisra’ĕl who slaughters a bull or a
lamb or a goat in the camp, or who slaughters it outside the camp,
Lev 17:4 and does not bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to bring an
offering to יהוה before the Dwelling Place of יהוה, blood-guilt is reckoned to
that man. He has shed blood, and that man shall be cut off from among his
people,
Lev 17:5 in order that the children of Yisra’ĕl bring their slaughterings
which they slaughter in the open field. And they shall bring them to יהוה at the
door of the Tent of meeting, to the priest, and slaughter them as peace
offerings to יהוה.
Lev 17:6 “And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of יהוה at the
door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall burn the fat for a sweet fragrance to
.יהוה
Lev 17:7 “And let them no longer slaughter their slaughterings to demons,
after whom they whored. This is a law forever for them throughout their
generations.” ’
Lev 17:8 “And say to them, ‘Any man of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or of the
strangers who sojourn among you, who offers a burnt offering or
slaughtering,
Lev 17:9 and does not bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to do it to
יהוה, that man shall be cut off from among his people.
Lev 17:10 ‘And any man of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or of the strangers who
sojourn among you, who eats any blood, I shall set My face against that being
who eats blood, and shall cut him off from among his people.
Lev 17:11 ‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you
upon the altar to make atonement for your lives, for it is the blood that makes
atonement for the life.’
Lev 17:12 “Therefore I said to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘No being among
you eats blood, nor does any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.’
Lev 17:13 “And any man from the children of Yisra’ĕl, or from the strangers
who sojourn among you, who hunts and catches any beast or bird, which is
eaten, shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust,
Lev 17:14 for it is the life of all flesh. Its blood is for its life. And I said to
the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Do not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all
flesh is its blood. Anyone eating it is cut off.’
Lev 17:15 “And any being who eats a carcass or what was torn by a beast,
be he a native or a stranger, he shall wash his garments and bathe in water,
and shall be unclean until evening. Then he shall be clean.
Lev 17:16 “And if he does not wash or bathe his body, then he shall bear his
crookedness.”
