  among your eats any blood, I will set my face

  you on the altar to make atonement for your
  souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement
  by the life.

  bringing you. You shall not walk in their
  statues. You shall follow my rules and keep my
  statues and walk in them. I am the LORD your God.

  their people will soon be vomited out of the
  land as God leads the Israelites in. (see v. 25)
