And Noah and his sons swore that they would not eat any blood that was in any flesh,
and he made a covenant before the Lord God for ever throughout all the generations of the earth in this month.
On this account He spake to thee that thou shouldst make a covenant with the children of Israel in this month upon the mountain with an oath, and that thou shouldst sprinkle blood upon them because of all the words of the covenant, which the Lord made with them for ever.
And this testimony is written concerning you that you should observe it continually, so that you should not eat on any day any blood of beasts or birds or cattle during all the days of the earth,
