No matter where you live, do not eat the blood of any bird or animal.

And that is why I have said to the Israelites,“ You must not eat any creature’s meat that still has blood in it. Every creature’s life is its blood. Anyone who eats that kind of meat must be separated from the community of Israel.”

They answered the king,“ There is no one on earth who can do what you are asking! No king has ever asked for anything like that. Not even a king as great and mighty as you has asked for it.
