Leviticus 17:10, 12, 14

“ ‘I will set my face against any Israelite or any foreigner residing among them who eats blood, and I will cut them off from the people.

Therefore I say to the Israelites, “None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner residing among you eat blood.”

because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, “You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off.”
