| Leviticus 19:26
| You shall not eat with blood. You shall not divine nor observe dreams.
| Blood. The flesh of any animal. The blood must belong to God. The members of the Sanhedrim eat nothing on the day that a criminal is executed, supposing that this is the meaning of the precept. The Septuagint read erim, "on the mountains;" and another version has, "on the roof," as if the worship of idols on high places were forbidden. (Haydock) --- Divine. Perhaps by means of "serpents," or "plates of brass," as the Hebrew ness, may insinuate. These methods were known to the ancients. (Horace, Ode 3:37.; Pliny 30:2.) (Calmet) --- Dreams. Hebrew, times. See Galatians 4:10. (Haydock)
