For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”

ગુજરાતીલેવી ૧૭:૧૪
કેમ કે સર્વ દેહધારીઓના જીવ વિષે એવું જાણવું કે રક્તમાં તેઓનો જીવ છે, તેથી જ મેં ઇઝરાયલના લોકોને કહ્યું છે કે, “તમારે કોઈપણ દેહધારીનું રક્ત પીવું નહિ, કેમ કે સર્વ દેહધારીઓનો જીવ તેઓના રક્તમાં છે. જે કોઈ તે ખાય તે અલગ કરાય.”
हिन्दीलैव्यव्यवस्था १७:१४
क्योंकि शरीर का प्राण जो है वह उसका लहू ही है जो उसके प्राण के साथ एक है; इसलिए मैं इस्राएलियों से कहता हूँ कि किसी प्रकार के प्राणी के लहू को तुम न खाना, क्योंकि सब प्राणियों का प्राण उनका लहू ही है; जो कोई उसको खाए वह नष्ट किया जाएगा। (प्रेरि. 15:20-29)

In context

12Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, “No person among you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”

13“‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.

14For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”

15“‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. Then he shall be clean.

16But if he doesn’t wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.’”
