12
Therefore I say to the Israelites: None of you and no foreigner who lives among you may eat blood.
13
"Any Israelite or foreigner living among them, who hunts down a wild animal or bird that may be eaten must drain its blood and cover it with dirt.
14
Since the life of every creature is its blood, I have told the Israelites: You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; whoever eats it must be cut off.

But if he does not wash [his clothes] and bathe himself, he will bear his punishment."
