1 Y HABLO Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
2 Habla á Aarón y á sus hijos, y á todos los hijos de Israel, y diles: Esto es lo que ha mandado Jehová, diciendo:
3 Cualquier varón de la casa de Israel que degollare buey, ó cordero, ó cabra, en el real, ó fuera del real,
4 Y no lo trajere á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, para ofrecer ofrenda á Jehová delante del tabernáculo de Jehová, sangre será imputada al tal varón: sangre derramó; cortado será el tal varón de entre su pueblo:
5 A fin de que traigan los hijos de Israel sus sacrificios, los que sacrifican sobre la haz del campo, para que los traigan á Jehová á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio al sacerdote, y sacrifiquen ellos sacrificios de paces á Jehová.
6 Y el sacerdote esparcirá la sangre sobre el altar de Jehová, á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, y quemará el sebo en olor de suavidad á Jehová.
7 Y nunca más sacrificarán sus sacrificios á los demonios, tras de los cuales han fornicado: tendrán esto por estatuto perpetuo por sus edades.
8 Les dirás también: Cualquier varón de la casa de Israel, ó de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre vosotros, que ofreciere holocausto ó sacrificio,
9 Y no lo trajere á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, para hacerlo á Jehová, el tal varón será igualmente cortado de sus pueblos.
10 Y cualquier varón de la casa de Israel, ó de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre ellos, que comiere alguna sangre, yo pondré mi rostro contra la persona que comiere sangre, y le cortaré de entre su pueblo.
11 Porque la vida de la carne en la sangre está: y yo os la he dado para expiar vuestras personas sobre el altar: por lo cual la misma sangre expiará la persona.
12 Por tanto, he dicho á los hijos de Israel: Ninguna persona de vosotros comerá sangre, ni el extranjero que peregrina entre vosotros comerá sangre.
13 Y cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, ó de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre ellos, que cogiere caza de animal ó de ave que sea de comer, derramará su sangre y cubrirála con tierra:
14 Porque el alma de toda carne, su vida, está en su sangre: por tanto he dicho á los hijos de Israel: No comeréis la sangre de ninguna carne, porque la vida de toda carne es su sangre; cualquiera que la comiere será cortado.
15 Y cualquiera persona que comiere cosa mortecina ó despedazada por fiera, así de los naturales como de los extranjeros, lavará sus vestidos y á sí mismo se lavará con agua, y será inmundo hasta la tarde; y se limpiará.
16 Y si no los lavare, ni lavare su carne, llevará su iniquidad.
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given.
3 If any man of Israel puts to death an ox or a lamb or a goat, in or outside the tent-circle;
4 And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will be cut off from among his people:
5 So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord.
6 And the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell to the Lord.
7 And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.
8 And say to them, If any man of Israel, or any other living among them, makes a burned offering or other offering,
9 And does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to the Lord, that man will be cut off from among his people.
10 And if any man of Israel, or any other living among them, takes any sort of blood for food, my wrath will be turned against that man and he will be cut off from among his people.
11 For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.
12 For this reason I have said to the children of Israel, No man among you, or any others living with you, may take blood as food.
13 And any man of Israel, or any other living among them, who gets with his bow any beast or bird used for food, is to see that its blood is covered with earth.
14 For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.
15 And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.
16 But if his clothing is not washed and his body bathed, his sin will be on him.
