Leviticus 7:19-25

19“ ‘Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean must not be eaten; it must be burned up. As for other meat, anyone ceremonially clean may eat it.

20But if anyone who is unclean eats any meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord, they must be cut off from their people.

21Anyone who touches something unclean—whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean creature that moves along the ground—and then eats any of the meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord must be cut off from their people.’ ”

22The Lord said to Moses,

23“Say to the Israelites: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats.

24The fat of an animal found dead or torn by wild animals may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.

25Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which a food offering may be presented to the Lord must be cut off from their people.
