اَللَّاوِيِّينَ 17:11

لِأَنَّ نَفْسَ ٱلْجَسَدِ هِيَ فِي ٱلدَّمِ، فَأَنَا أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ إِيَّاهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْ نُفُوسِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ ٱلدَّمَ يُكَفِّرُ عَنِ ٱلنَّفْسِ.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
