21. When a person touches anything unclean (whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or an unclean detestable creature) and eats some of the meat of the peace offering sacrifice which belongs to the Lord, that person will be cut off from his people.’”

22. Then the Lord spoke to Moses:

23. “Tell the Israelites, ‘You must not eat any fat of an ox, sheep, or goat.

24. Moreover, the fat of an animal that has died of natural causes and the fat of an animal torn by beasts may be used for any other purpose, but you must certainly never eat it.

25. If anyone eats fat from the animal from which he presents a gift to the Lord, that person will be cut off from his people.

26. And you must not eat any blood of the birds or the domesticated land animals in any of the places where you live.

27. Any person who eats any blood – that person will be cut off from his people.’”

28. Then the Lord spoke to Moses:

29. “Tell the Israelites, ‘The one who presents his peace offering sacrifice to the Lord must bring his offering to the Lord from his peace offering sacrifice.
