Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, no soul of you shall eat blood, etc.] Great or small as Jarchi observes, for the reason above given; which, though not expressed before, was the true reason of this law, which had been given before, and now repeated; (see <030317>Leviticus 3:17 7:26,27); neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood; any proselyte of righteousness; this is not observed before.
