16 'But if the sacrifice of his offering is a 1votive or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day what is left of it may be eaten;
17 2but what is left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.
18 'So if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings should ever be eaten on the third day, he who offers it will not be accepted, and it will not be reckoned to his benefit. It shall be an 3offensive thing, and the person who eats of it will bear his own iniquity.
19 'Also the flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. As for other flesh, anyone who is clean may eat such flesh.
20 '4But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the LORD, in his uncleanness, that person 5shall be cut off from his people.
21 '6When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or any unclean detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people.' "
22 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
23 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'You shall not eat 7any fat from an ox, a sheep or a goat.
24 'Also the fat of an animal which dies and the fat of an animal 8torn by beasts may be put to any other use, but you must certainly not eat it.
25 'For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which an offering by fire is offered to the LORD, even the person who eats shall be cut off from his people.
26 '9You are not to eat any blood, either of bird or animal, in any of your dwellings.
