Leviticus 17:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 17:8

6 And the priest ^ashall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and ^bburn the fat for a sweet aroma to the Lord.

7 They shall no more offer their sacrifices ^ato demons, after whom they ^bhave played the harlot. This shall be a statute forever for them throughout their generations.” ’

8 “Also you shall say to them: ‘Whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, ^awho offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,

9 and does not ^abring it to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, to offer it to the Lord, that man shall be¹ cut off from among his people.

10 ^a‘And whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who eats any blood, ^bI will set My face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

11 For the ^alife of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar ^bto make atonement for your souls; for ^cit is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’

12 Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘No one among you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger who dwells among you eat blood.’

13 “Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who ^ahunts and catches any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall ^bpour out its blood and ^ccover it with dust;

14 ^afor it is the life of all flesh. Its blood sustains its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.’

15 ^a“And every person who eats what died naturally or what was torn by beasts, whether he is a native of your own country or a stranger, ^bhe shall both wash his clothes and ^cbathe in water, and be unclean until evening. Then he shall be clean.

16 But if he does not wash them or bathe his body, then ^ahe shall bear his guilt.”
