1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
1 Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
2 'Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel; and thou hast said unto them, This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,
2 Habla á Aarón y á sus hijos, y á todos los hijos de Israel, y diles: Esto es lo que ha mandado Jehová, diciendo:
3 Any man of the house of Israel who slaughtereth ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who slaughtereth at the outside of the camp,
3 Cualquier varón de la casa de Israel que degollare buey, ó cordero, ó cabra, en el real, ó fuera del real,
4 and unto the opening of the tent of meeting hath not brought it in to bring near an offering to Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah, blood is reckoned to that man — blood he hath shed — and that man hath been cut off from the midst of his people;
4 Y no lo trajere á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, para ofrecer ofrenda á Jehová delante del tabernáculo de Jehová, sangre será imputada al tal varón: sangre derramó; cortado será el tal varón de entre su pueblo:
5 so that the sons of Israel do bring in their sacrifices which they are sacrificing on the face of the field, yea, they have brought them in to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and they have sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah with them.
5 A fin de que traigan los hijos de Israel sus sacrificios, los que sacrifican sobre la haz del campo, para que los traigan á Jehová á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio al sacerdote, y sacrifiquen ellos sacrificios de paces á Jehová.
6 'And the priest hath sprinkled the blood upon the altar of Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting, and hath made perfume with the fat for sweet fragrance to Jehovah;
6 Y el sacerdote esparcirá la sangre sobre el altar de Jehová, á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, y quemará el sebo en olor de suavidad á Jehová.
7 and they sacrifice not any more their sacrifices to goats after which they are going a-whoring; a statute age-during is this to them, to their generations.
7 Y nunca más sacrificarán sus sacrificios á los demonios, tras de los cuales han fornicado: tendrán esto por estatuto perpetuo por sus edades.
8 'And unto them thou sayest: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners, who sojourneth in your midst, who causeth burnt-offering or sacrifice to ascend,
8 Les dirás también: Cualquier varón de la casa de Israel, ó de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre vosotros, que ofreciere holocausto ó sacrificio,
9 and unto the opening of the tent of meeting doth not bring it in to make it to Jehovah — that man hath been cut off from his people.
9 Y no lo trajere á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, para hacerlo á Jehová, el tal varón será igualmente cortado de sus pueblos.
10 'And any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who eateth any blood, I have even set My face against the person who is eating the blood, and have cut him off from the midst of his people;
10 Y cualquier varón de la casa de Israel, ó de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre ellos, que comiere alguna sangre, yo pondré mi rostro contra la persona que comiere sangre, y le cortaré de entre su pueblo.
11 for the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar, to make atonement for your souls; for it [is] the blood which maketh atonement for the soul.
11 Porque la vida de la carne en la sangre está: y yo os la he dado para expiar vuestras personas sobre el altar: por lo cual la misma sangre expiará la persona.
12 'Therefore I have said to the sons of Israel, No person among you doth eat blood, and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst doth not eat blood;
12 Por tanto, he dicho á los hijos de Israel: Ninguna persona de vosotros comerá sangre, ni el extranjero que peregrina entre vosotros comerá sangre.
13 and any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who hunteth venison, beast or fowl, which is eaten — hath even poured out its blood, and hath covered it with dust;
13 Y cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, ó de los extranjeros que peregrinan entre ellos, que cogiere caza de animal ó de ave que sea de comer, derramará su sangre y cubrirála con tierra:
14 for [it is] the life of all flesh, its blood is for its life; and I say to the sons of Israel, Blood of any flesh ye do not eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood; any one eating it is cut off.
14 Porque el alma de toda carne, su vida, está en su sangre: por tanto he dicho á los hijos de Israel: No comeréis la sangre de ninguna carne, porque la vida de toda carne es su sangre: cualquiera que la comiere será cortado.
15 'And any person who eateth a carcase or torn thing, among natives or among sojourners — hath both washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean until the evening — then he hath been clean;
15 Y cualquiera persona que comiere [cosa] mortecina, ó despedazada por fiera, así de los naturales como de los extranjeros, lavará sus vestidos y á sí mismo se lavará con agua, y será inmundo hasta la tarde; y se limpiará.
16 and if he wash not, and his flesh bathe not — then he hath borne his iniquity.'
16 Y si no los lavare, ni lavare su carne, llevará su iniquidad.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Since, according to Scripture, "the life of every creature is in the blood," as the blood when thickened changes into flesh, and flesh when corrupted decomposes into earth, so the soul of beasts is naturally an earthy substance.
