Any Israelite or foreigner living among them who hunts down an animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out its blood and cover it with earth,
In context
11For the life of a creature is in its blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your lives, because it is the blood, by means of the life, that makes atonement. 12That is why I have told the Israelites: none of you may eat blood, and the foreigner living among you may not eat blood either. 13Any Israelite or foreigner living among them who hunts down an animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out its blood and cover it with earth, 14because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have told the Israelites: you must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it is to be cut off. 15Anyone, whether native-born or foreigner, who eats an animal found dead or torn by wild beasts, must wash his clothes and bathe in water, and he will be unclean until evening; then he will be clean.
