Leviticus 17:11 in Context — Leviticus 17
9 et ne l’amène pas à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation, pour l’offrir en sacrifice à l’Éternel, cet homme-là sera retranché de son peuple.
10 Si un homme de la maison d’Israël ou des étrangers qui séjournent au milieu d’eux mange du sang d’une espèce quelconque, je tournerai ma face contre celui qui mange le sang, et je le retrancherai du milieu de son peuple.
11 Car l’âme de la chair est dans le sang. Je vous l’ai donné sur l’autel, afin qu’il servît d’expiation pour vos âmes, car c’est par l’âme que le sang fait l’expiation.
12 C’est pourquoi j’ai dit aux enfants d’Israël: Personne d’entre vous ne mangera du sang, et l’étranger qui séjourne au milieu de vous ne mangera pas du sang.
13 Si quelqu’un des enfants d’Israël ou des étrangers qui séjournent au milieu d’eux prend à la chasse un animal ou un oiseau qui se mange, il en versera le sang et le couvrira de poussière.
