Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, "No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood."

Commentary

Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, no soul of you shall eat blood,... . Great or small as Jarchi observes, for the reason above given; which, though not expressed before, was the true reason of this law, which had been given before, and now repeated; see Lev 3:17 , neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood; any proselyte of righteousness; this is not observed before.
