SCRIPTURE

"And ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of bird or of beast, in any of your dwellings." — Leviticus 7:26 (ASV)

Moreover you shall eat... — Better, and you shall eat no blood in all your dwellings. That is, this law is binding upon the Israelites wherever they may dwell. (See Leviticus 3:17.)

Whether it be of fowl or of beast. —It extends to all fowls and quadrupeds, whether they are legally prescribed as sacrifices or not; but not to fishes, locusts, creeping things, etc., which are not prescribed in the dietary laws as unclean.
