[whether it be] of fowl or of beast;
of all sorts and kinds. Jarchi thinks, the words being thus expressed, the blood of fishes and locusts is excepted, and so lawful to eat:

in any of your dwellings;
this shows that this law is not to be restrained to creatures slain in sacrifice in the tabernacle, and to the blood of them, but to be understood of all such as were slain in their own houses for food, and the blood of them.

26 No matter where you live, you must never consume the blood of any bird or animal.
27 Anyone who consumes blood will be cut off from the community.”
