Leviticus 17:8-9

Blood, Life, Sacrifice, and the LORD's Exclusive Altar

The LORD commands that slaughtered sacrificial animals be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting, forbids sacrifice in the open fields or to goat demons, applies the command to Israelites and foreigners, prohibits eating blood because life is in the blood and blood is given for atonement, requires hunters to drain and cover blood, and gives washing instructions for eating animals found dead or torn.
