1 WHOEVER defiles the soul of beasts, defiles his own soul. (2EN) 2 For man brings clean animals to make sacrifice for sin, that he may have cure of his soul. (2EN) 3 And if they bring for sacrifice clean animals, and birds, man has cure, he cures his soul. (2EN) 4 All is given you for food, bind it by the four feet, that is to make good the cure, he cures his soul. (2EN) 5 But whoever kills beast without wounds, kills his own soul and defiles his own flesh. (2EN) 6 And he who does any beast any injury whatsoever, in secret, it is evil practice, and he defiles his own soul. (2EN)
