Fat and Blood Prohibited
22 The Lord spoke to Moses: 23 “Tell the Israelites: You are not to eat any fat(A) of an ox, a sheep, or a goat. 24 The fat of an animal that dies naturally or is mauled by wild beasts[a](B) may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.(C) 25 If anyone eats animal fat from a food offering presented to the Lord, the person who eats it is to be cut off from his people. 26 Wherever you live, you must not eat the blood(D) of any bird or animal. 27 Whoever eats any blood is to be cut off from his people.”

King James Version
22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
24 And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
26 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
27 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
