Bible Question: what does Gen. 9:4 mean do not eat meat with the lifeblood? |
Bible Answer: The title of this question is explain Gen 4:6 but then you ask about Gen 9:4. I will address Gen 9:4. What this passage is telling the people to do is to bleed their meat before they eat it. This has become common meat handling procedure. After the animal is killed it is bleed. That means it is hung upside down to allow all the blood to flow out a severed artery in the neck, so that most of the blood is out of the body before the meat is cut up and eaten for food. |
