What is the prescribed punishment for the one who eats the blood?
Leviticus 7:27 (ESV)
27Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.”
The punishment is once again severe. The person who commits this deed is excommunicated from the people of God. The phrase, “that person” expresses a sense of disassociation between the guilty party and the community of the Lord.
27 Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.”
