SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:10
¶ Y cualquier varón de la Casa de Israel, o de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre ellos, que comiere alguna sangre, yo pondré mi rostro contra la persona que comiere sangre, y la cortaré de entre su pueblo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. And whatsoever man [there be] of the house of Israel , etc.] That is by birth an Israelite, of every age, sex, or condition, as before: or of the strangers that sojourn among you ; proselytes of righteousness, for the following law was only obligatory on such, and upon Israelites, as appears from its being lawful to give or sell that which dies of itself to a stranger, that is, to a proselyte of the gate, or to an Heathen, ( Deuteronomy 14:21); that eateth any manner of blood ; that is, as Ben Gersom interprets it, of beasts and birds, concerning which the prohibition only is, according to him; for as for the blood of others there was no obligation, nor were any guilty on account of them; particularly the blood of fishes, and of locusts, or human blood, the blood of a man’s teeth, which a man might swallow without being guilty of the breach of this law f605 . Some restrain this to the blood of the sacrifices before treated of; but Jarchi observes, lest any should think, because it is said, it is “the blood that maketh the atonement for the soul”: that a man is not guilty only on account of the blood of sanctified things, therefore it is said “any manner of blood”: I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood ; signifying how greatly he should be provoked thereby, how much he should resent it, how exceedingly displeasing it would be to him, and what severity might be expected to be exercised towards him for it; for dreadful it is to have the face of God set against a man, (see Psalm 34:16). Maimonides f606 observes, that this form of speech does not occur in any third precept besides these two, concerning idolatry or sacrificing a son to Moloch, ( Leviticus 20:3), and eating blood; because eating of blood gives an occasion to one species of idolatry, worshipping of devils, (see Leviticus 19:26); and will cut him off from among his people ; which confirms the above sense of the phrase of cutting off as expressive of death by the hand of God; (see Gill on “ Leviticus 17:4”).
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 But this law was ceremonial, and is now no longer in force the coming of the substance does away the shadow.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 __________________________________________________________________
