Exegesis
The result clause kol-ʾōḵəlāyw yiqqāret {כָּל־אֹכְלָ֖יו יִכָּרֵֽת | kol-ʾōḵəlāyw yiqqāret} employs the Niphal imperfect to indicate enforced exclusion. Rhetorical parallelism and construct chains bind law and theology.
In context — Leviticus 17:14
Because the life of all flesh is its blood—in its life it is. And I have said to the sons of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood; anyone who eats it shall be cut off .
