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.”
