7. They must not offer to idols
10. All eating of blood is forbidden
15. and of all that dies by itself, or is torn














(4) And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.--Better, and bringeth it not to the entrance of the tent of meeting; that is, if he does not bring it to the place where the sacrifices are killed, and offer it first as a peace offering to Jehovah, he is to be regarded as wantonly shedding blood, and will be visited with the penalty of excision.
