Bible verse
“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘You are not to eat any of the fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.
Leviticus 7:23 · BSB
The verses around it, from Leviticus 7.
19 Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. As for any other meat, anyone who is ceremonially clean may eat it.
20 But if anyone who is unclean eats meat from the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.
21 If one touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable thing, and then eats any of the meat of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.”
22 Then the LORD said to Moses,
23 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘You are not to eat any of the fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.
24 The fat of an animal found dead or mauled by wild beasts may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.
25 If anyone eats the fat of an animal from which an offering made by fire may be presented to the LORD, the one who eats it must be cut off from his people.
26 You must not eat the blood of any bird or animal in any of your dwellings.
27 If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.’”
