Leviticus 17:10-11

[10] And whatsoever man  there be of the house  of Israel,  or of the strangers  that sojourn  among  you, that eateth  any manner of blood;  I will even set  my face  against that soul  that eateth  blood,  and will cut him off  from among  his people.  [11] For the life  of the flesh  is in the blood:  and I have given  it to you upon the altar  to make an atonement  for your souls:  for it is the blood  that maketh an atonement  for the soul.
