7 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “blood” →
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
