Leviticus 17:11
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
quia anima carnis in sanguine est : et ego dedi illum vobis, ut super altare in eo expietis pro animabus vestris, et sanguis pro animæ piaculo sit.
For the life (note: Literally the soul; also in verse 14) of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for your souls upon the altar; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.
