- ye shall eat:
- The prohibition of the fat or suet, which was restricted to animals offered in sacrifice, taught reverence to the altar and ordinances of God; but that of blood, which was extended to all land animals, had especial respect to the atoning blood of the sacrifice, and of the great antitype which the sacrifice prefigured. "[It shall be] a perpetualª statuteª for your generationsª throughout all¹ your dwellings,ª that ye eatª° neither¹¹ fatª nor blood.ª" {Lev 3:17} + "And whatsoever manª [there be] of the houseª¹ of Israel,ª or of¹ the strangersª that sojournª° amongª you, that¹ eatethª° any manner¹ of blood;ª I will even setª° my faceª against that soulª that eatethª°¹ blood,ª and will cut him offª°¹ from amongª¹ his people.ª ... For¹ [it is] the lifeª of all¹ flesh;ª the bloodª of it [is] for the lifeª thereof: therefore I saidª° unto the childrenª of Israel,ª Ye shall eatª° the bloodª of no manner¹¹ of flesh:ª for¹ the lifeª of all¹ fleshª [is] the bloodª thereof: whosoever¹ eatethª° it shall be cut off.ª°" {Lev 17:10-14} + "Butª fleshª with the lifeª thereof, [which is] the bloodª thereof, shall ye not¹ eat.ª°" {Gen 9:4} + "Then they toldª° Saul,ª saying,ª° Behold,¹ the peopleª sinª° against the LORD,ª in that they eatª° with¹ the blood.ª And he said,ª° Ye have transgressed:ª° rollª° a greatª stoneª unto¹ me this day.ª ... And Saulª said,ª° Disperse²° yourselves¹ among the people,ª and sayª° unto them, Bring me hitherª°¹ every manª his ox,ª and every manª his sheep,ª and slayª° [them] here,¹ and eat;ª° and sinª° not¹ against the LORDª in eatingª° with¹ the blood.ª And all¹ the peopleª broughtª° every manª his oxª with¹ him² that night,ª and slewª° [them] there.¹" {1Sm 14:33-34} + "Wherefore¹ sayª° unto¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Ye eatª° with¹ the blood,ª and lift upª° your eyesª toward¹ your idols,ª and shedª° blood:ª and shall ye possessª° the land?ª" {Ezk 33:25} + "Thenª Jesusª saidª° unto them,ª Verily,ª verily,ª I sayª° unto you,ª Exceptª ye eatª° the¹ fleshª of the¹ Sonª of man,ª andª drinkª° hisª blood,ª ye haveª° noª lifeª inª you.ª" {Jhn 6:53} + "Butª that we writeª° unto them,ª that they abstainª° fromª pollutionsª of idols,²¹ andª [from] fornication,ª andª [from] things strangled,ª andª [from] blood.ª" {Act 15:20} + "That ye abstainª° from meats offered to idols,ª andª from blood,ª andª from things strangled,ª andª from fornication:ª fromª whichª if ye keepª° yourselves,ª ye shall doª° well.ª Fare ye well.ª°" {Act 15:29} + "Inª whomª we haveª° redemptionª throughª hisª blood,ª the¹ forgivenessª of sins,ª accordingª to the¹ richesª of hisª grace;ª" {Eph 1:7} + "Forª everyª creatureª of Godª [is] good,ª andª nothingª to be refused,ª if it be receivedª° withª thanksgiving:ª" {1Tm 4:4}
