SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:13
Y cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, o de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre ellos, que cogiere caza de animal o de ave que sea de comer, derramará su sangre y la cubrirá con tierra.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And whatsoever man [there be] of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you , etc.] This form of speaking, which is often used in this chapter, is still observed to point out the persons on whom the law is obligatory, Israelites and proselytes of righteousness: which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten ; that is, clean beasts and fowls, such as by a former law are observed; and this excepts unclean ones, as Jarchi, but includes all clean ones, whether wild or tame, that may be taken and killed though not taken in hunting; but such are particularly mentioned, because not only hunting beasts and fowl were common, but because such persons were more rustic and brutish and, being hungry, were in haste for their food, and not so careful about the slaying of the creatures, and of, taking care about their blood: he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust ; that it might not be eaten by men, nor licked up by beasts and that there might be kept up a reverend esteem of blood, being the life of the creature; and this covering of it, as Maimonides tells us, was accompanied with a benediction in this form, “Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, the King of the world, who hath sanctified us by his precepts, and hath given commandment to us concerning covering of the blood:” and the same writer elsewhere gives us another reason of this law, that the Israelites might not meet and feast about the blood, as the Zabians did, who, when they slew a beast, took its blood and put it into a vessel, or into a hole dug by them, and sat and feasted around it: (see Leviticus 19:26).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-16 - Here is a confirmation of the law against eating blood. They must ea no blood. But this law was ceremonial, and is now no longer in force the coming of the substance does away the shadow. The blood of beast is no longer the ransom, but Christ's blood only; therefore there is not now the reason for abstaining there then was. The blood is no allowed for the nourishment of our bodies; it is no longer appointed to make an atonement for the soul. Now the blood of Christ makes atonemen really and effectually; to that, therefore, we must have regard, an not consider it as a common thing, or treat it with indifference __________________________________________________________________
