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 purpose, but you must not eat it.(C) 25 If anyone eats animal fat from a fire offering presented to the Lord, the person who eats it must 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, that person must be cut off from his people.”
