O believers , slay not the game while you are in pilgrim sanctity ; whosoever of you slays it wilfully , there shall be recompense -- the like of what he has slain , in flocks as shall be judged by two men of equity among you , an offering to reach the Kaaba ; or expiation -- food for poor persons or the equivalent of that in fasting , so that he may taste the mischief of his action . God has pardoned what is past ; but whoever offends again , God will take vengeance on him , God is All-mighty , Vengeful .
