Deuteronomy 12:16
_ _ Deuteronomy 12:16-25. Blood prohibited.
_ _ ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water — The prohibition against eating or drinking blood as an unnatural custom accompanied the announcement of the divine grant of animal flesh for food (Genesis 9:4), and the prohibition was repeatedly renewed by Moses with reference to the great objects of the law (Leviticus 17:12), the prevention of idolatry, and the consecration of the sacrificial blood to God. In regard, however, to the blood of animals slain for food, it might be shed without ceremony and poured on the ground as a common thing like water — only for the sake of decency, as well as for preventing all risk of idolatry, it was to be covered over with earth (Leviticus 17:13), in opposition to the practice of heathen sportsmen, who left it exposed as an offering to the god of the chase. |

Leviticus 17:10- 13 And whatsoever man [ there be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. ...
