Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

Whoever defiles the soul of beasts, defiles his own soul.

2For man brings clean animals to make sacrifice for sin, that he may have cure of his soul.

3And if they bring for sacrifice clean animals, and birds, man has cure, he cures his soul.

4All is given you for food, bind it by the four feet, that is to make good the cure, he cures his soul.

5But whoever kills beast without wounds, kills his own souls and defiles his own flesh.

6And he who does any beast any injury whatsoever, in secret, it is evil practice, and he defiles his own soul.
