רק הדם לא תאכלו. אַעַ"פִּ שֶׁאָמַרְתִּי שֶׁאֵין לְךָ בוֹ זְרִיקַת דָּם בַּמִּזְבֵּח, לֹא תֹּאכְלֶנּוּ: רק הדם לא תאכלו ONLY YE SHALL NOT EAT THE BLOOD — Although I have told you that there is no sprinkling of blood on the altar in its case (it being blemished and thus unfit for the altar), you shall nevertheless not eat it.
תשפכנו כמים. לוֹמַר לְךָ שֶׁאֵין צָרִיךְ כִּסּוּי (ספרי; חולין פ"ד). דָּ"אַ — הֲרֵי הוּא כַמַּיִם לְהַכְשִׁיר אֶת הַזְּרָעִים (שם ל"ה): תשפכנו כמים YE SHALL POUR IT [UPON THE EARTH] AS WATER — This latter word is intended to tell you that although they are compared to these חיות, yet it (the blood) requires no covering with dust as prescribed in the case of these חיות in Leviticus 17:13 (Sifrei Devarim 71:15; Chullin 84a). Another explanation is that the word כמים is intended to suggest: It is like water in so far as to make seed (food) receptive to uncleanness just as water does (cf. Leviticus 11:38) (Sifrei Devarim 71:15; Chullin 35b).
