Leviticus 7:20-27

20If 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.

21If 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.”

22Then 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.

24The 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.

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

26No matter where you live, you must never consume the blood of any bird or animal.

27Anyone who consumes blood will be cut off from the community.”
