 Blood - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
Blood brotherhood or blood friendship is established by African tribes by the mutual shedding of blood and either drinking it or rubbing it on one another's bodies.
The first reference in the Old Testament to blood (Genesis 4:10) is figurative, but highly illustrative of the reverential fear manifested upon the shedding of blood and the first teaching regarding it.
Blood was commanded to be used also for purification or for ceremonial cleansing (Leviticus 14:5-7,51,52; Numbers 19:4), provided, however, that it be taken from a clean animal (see PURIFICATION).
