11 On this account He spake to
thee that thou shouldst make a
covenant with the children of
Israel in this month upon the
mountain with an oath, and
that thou shouldst sprinkle
blood upon them because of
all the words of the covenant,
which Yahuah made with
them for ever.
12 And this testimony is
written
concerning
you
that you should observe
it continually, so that you
should not eat on any day any
blood of beasts or birds or
cattle during all the days of
the earth, and the man who
eateth the blood of beast or
of cattle or of birds during all
the days of the earth, he and
his seed shall be rooted out
of the land. 13 And do thou
command the children of
Israel to eat no blood, so that
their names and their seed
may be before Yahuah our
Elohim continually. 14 And
for this law there is no limit
of days, for it is for ever. They
shall observe it throughout
their generations, so that they
may continue supplicating on
your behalf with blood before
the altar; every day and at the
time of morning and evening
they shall seek forgiveness

before Yahuah that they may
keep it and not be rooted out.

and his sons a sign that there
should not again be a flood on
the earth. 16 He set His bow
in the cloud for a sign of the
eternal covenant that there
should not again be a flood
on the earth to destroy it all
the days of the earth. 17 For
this reason it is ordained and
written on the heavenly tables,
that they should celebrate the
feast of weeks in this month
once a year, to renew the
covenant every year.
18 And this whole festival was
celebrated in heaven from the
day of creation till the days of
Noah-twenty-six jubilees and
five weeks of years: and Noah
and his sons observed it for
seven jubilees and one week
of years, till the day of Noah’s
death, and from the day of
Noah’s death his sons did
away with (it) until the days of
Abraham, and they ate blood.
19 But Abraham observed
it, and Isaac and Jacob and
his children observed it up
to thy days, and in thy days
the children of Israel forgot
it until ye celebrated it anew
on this mountain. 20 And do
thou command the children
of Israel to observe this
