Leviticus 7:26 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:26

Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood
Of any of the above creatures, or any other, even of any clean creature, and much less of an unclean one:

[whether it be] of fowl or of beast;

25 If any man eateth the inner fatness, that oughteth to be offered into incense to the Lord, he shall perish from his people. (If anyone eateth the inner fat, that ought to be offered as incense to the Lord, he shall be cut off from his people.)
26 Also ye shall not take in meat the blood of any beast, as well of birds, as of beasts; (And ye shall not eat the blood of any beast, or any bird, wherever ye shall live;)
27 each man that eateth blood shall perish from his peoples. (anyone who eateth blood shall be cut off from his people.)
28 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
