היא שצונו לכסות דם חיה ועוף אחר שנשחטו. והוא אמרו יתעלה ושפך את דמו וכסהו בעפר. וכבר התבארו משפטי מצוה זו בפ"ו מחולין. (אחרי מות, קדושה הלכות שחיטה):

**Sefaria Edition 2021, Translated by Rabbi Francis Nataf:**
That is that He commanded us to cover the blood of a [wild] animal or bird after they are slaughtered. And that is His, may He be exalted, saying, "he shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth" (Leviticus 17:13). And the regulations of this commandment have already been explained in Chapter 6 of Chullin. (See Parashat Ahrei Mot; Mishneh Torah, Ritual Slaughter.)
