What did God say would happen to an Israelite or stranger who ate blood in Leviticus 17?
God declared that any Israelite or stranger sojourning among them who ate any manner of blood would have His face set against that soul and would be cut off from among His people. The reason given is that the life of the flesh is in the blood, and blood was given upon the altar to make atonement for souls.
Les teaches that God Himself spoke in Leviticus 17: whatsoever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers sojourning among them, who ate any manner of blood, God would set His face against that soul and cut him off from among His people. The reason is that the life of the flesh is in the blood, and this is why blood had to be sacrificed for the remission of sin—it was death for life. Les also points out that the blood had to be applied: it was sprinkled on the altar, on the Ark of the Covenant, the Mercy Seat, and Christ also had to present His blood in heaven. For this reason, God still demands that even under grace we do not partake of these things.
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
