And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.

Verse 32 is found in chapter 14 of 1 Samuel. Saul imposes an oath forbidding the army from eating during the battle. The decision does not strengthen the victory, but instead weakens the soldiers and produces extreme hunger. Jonathan, unaware of the oath, eats honey and recognizes that the prohibition has harmed the army. Later, the people consume meat with blood, violating a known regulation. The episode shows how impulsive leadership decisions can generate new transgressions and complicate a victory initially granted by God.

Und das Volk fiel über die Beute her und nahm Schafe und Rinder und Kälber und schlachteten auf der Erde und aßen so blutig.

Entonces el pueblo se lanzó sobre el botín. Tomaron ovejas, reses y terneros, los degollaron en el suelo y comieron la carne con la sangre.
et il se jeta sur le butin. Il prit des brebis, des boeufs et des veaux, il les égorgea sur la terre, et il en mangea avec le sang.
Onde, voltosi alla preda, prese pecore, e buoi, e vitelli, e li scannò in terra; e il popolo mangiava le carni col sangue.
Então o povo se lançou ao despojo, e tomaram ovelhas, e vacas, e bezerros, e os degolaram no chão; e o povo os comeu com sangue.
就急著撲向掠物,奪取牛羊和牛犢,宰於地上,連肉帶血吃了。
