Commentary on Leviticus 17:12

Theological / Devotional

Eat blood. The intent of the rules in regard to the eating of blood was not only that Israel might abstain from the eating of literal blood. It was all of that, but it was more. It was to instill in them a high regard for that which the blood represents, life. All life comes from God and belongs to Him. It is not to be misused or destroyed.
