Leviticus 7:19-25 New Living Translation (NLT)

19. “Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean may not be eaten; it must be completely burned up. The rest of the meat may be eaten, but only by people who are ceremonially clean.

20. If you are ceremonially unclean and you eat meat from a peace offering that was presented to the lord, you will be cut off from the community.

21. If you touch anything that is unclean (whether it is human defilement or an unclean animal or any other unclean, detestable thing) and then eat meat from a peace offering presented to the lord, you will be cut off from the community.”

22. Then the lord said to Moses,

23. “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. You must never eat fat, whether from cattle, sheep, or goats.

24. The fat of an animal found dead or torn to pieces by wild animals must never be eaten, though it may be used for any other purpose.

25. Anyone who eats fat from an animal presented as a special gift to the lord will be cut off from the community.
