TT points to the general prohibition of blood (of bird and beast) and the karet attached to it.

Core Text

וכל דם לא תאכלו בכל מושבותיכם לעוף ולבהמה — איסור דם עוף ובהמה בכל מקום. כל נפש אשר תאכל כל דם ונכרתה הנפש ההיא מעמיה — כרת על אכילת דם.

“And you shall not eat any blood in any of your dwellings, whether of fowl or of beast. Any person who eats any blood, that soul shall be cut off from its people” — the prohibition of the blood of bird and beast applies in every place, and eating it incurs karet.

On the daf / in context

The verse is one of the primary sources for the lav against consuming blood. The language “in any of your dwellings” extends the prohibition beyond the Temple, and the karet clause supplies the penalty.

Type of Learning

Custom — primary negative commandment with karet.

What Is Learned

It is forbidden to eat the blood of a bird or beast anywhere; the penalty is karet.
