Genesis 9:4
Douay-Rheims
Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
But flesh . . . the blood . . . shall ye not eat--The sole intention of this prohibition was to prevent these excesses of cannibal ferocity in eating flesh of living animals, to which men in the earlier ages of the world were liable.
