Leviticus 7:22-27
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

22 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to the Israelites: You shall eat no fat of ox or sheep or goat.(A) 24 The fat of an animal that died or was torn by wild animals may be put to any other use, but you must not eat it. 25 If any one of you eats the fat from an animal of which an offering by fire[a] may be made to the Lord, you who eat it shall be cut off from your people. 26 You must not eat any blood whatever, either of bird or of animal, in any of your settlements.(B) 27 Any one of you who eats any blood shall be cut off from your people.”

Instructions for the People

22 Then[a] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to the Israelites,[b] saying, ‘You[c] must not eat any fat of ox, or[d] sheep, or[e] goat; 24 and a dead body’s fat or[f] mangled carcass’s fat may be used for any purpose,[g] but[h] you[i] certainly must not eat it. 25 When anyone eats fat from the domestic animal from which he presented an offering made by fire for Yahweh, then[j] that person[k] who ate shall be cut off from his people. 26 And in any of your[l] dwellings, you must not eat any blood belonging to[m] birds[n] or[o] domestic animals.[p] 27 Any person[q] who eats any blood, that person[r] shall be cut off from his people.’”
