²² The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²³ “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, ^(A)You shall eat no fat, of ox or sheep or goat. ²⁴ The fat of an animal ^(B)that dies of itself and the fat of one that is torn by beasts may be put to any other use, but on no account shall you eat it. ²⁵ For every person who eats of the fat of an animal of which a food offering may be made to the Lord shall be cut off from his people. ²⁶ Moreover, ^(C)you shall eat no blood whatever, whether of fowl or of animal, in any of your dwelling places. ²⁷ Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.”
