SEE Leviticus 17:11, 14

For the life of the creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you for performing the rite of expiation on the altar for your lives, for the blood is what expiates for a life.

For the life of every creature is its blood, and I have told the Israelites: You will not consume the blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood, and anyone who consumes it will be outlawed.
