For the life of the flesh is in the blood:
and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls:
for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Leviticus 17:11
"The price that was paid for us was His own blood--His life."
E.J.Waggoner
For it is the life of all flesh;
the blood of it is for the life thereof:
therefore I said unto the children of Israel,
Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh:
for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof:
whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
Leviticus 17:14
