Leviticus 17:14 in Context — Leviticus 17

12 Por tanto, he dicho á los hijos de Israel: Ninguna persona de vosotros comerá sangre, ni el extranjero que peregrina entre vosotros comerá sangre.

13 Y cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, ó de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre ellos, que cogiere caza de animal ó de ave que sea de comer, derramará su sangre y cubrirála con tierra:

14 Porque el alma de toda carne, su vida, está en su sangre: por tanto he dicho á los hijos de Israel: No comeréis la sangre de ninguna carne, porque la vida de toda carne es su sangre: cualquiera que la comiere será cortado.

15 Y cualquiera persona que comiere [cosa] mortecina, ó despedazada por fiera, así de los naturales como de los extranjeros, lavará sus vestidos y á sí mismo se lavará con agua, y será inmundo hasta la tarde; y se limpiará.

16 Y si no los lavare, ni lavare su carne, llevará su iniquidad.
