William K. Gilders, Blood Ritual in the Hebrew Bible: Meaning and Power (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004), 16-17, 25, has appropriately warned against projecting theological explanations onto these terse words based on the scholarly imagination, or assuming that an explanation suggested in one source goes without saying in all the sources. Gilders further notes that the claim that blood is life hardly makes it obvious that life is something one would not want to eat, citing anthropological evidence of cultures that value consuming the life-force of enemies or animals.
