Leviticus 7:20-30

20 but the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of the LORD's peace offerings while an uncleanness is on him, that person shall be cut off from his people.
21 And if any one touches an unclean thing, whether the uncleanness of man or an unclean beast or any unclean abomination, and then eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of the LORD's peace offerings, that person shall be cut off from his people."
22 The LORD said to Moses,
23 "Say to the people of Israel, You shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat.
24 The fat of an animal that dies of itself, and the fat of one that is torn by beasts, may be put to any other use, but on no account shall you eat it.
25 For every person who eats of the fat of an animal of which an offering by fire is made to the LORD shall be cut off from his people.
26 Moreover you shall eat no blood whatever, whether of fowl or of animal, in any of your dwellings.
27 Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people."
28 The LORD said to Moses,
29 "Say to the people of Israel, He that offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD; from the sacrifice of his peace offerings
30 he shall bring with his own hands the offerings by fire to the LORD; he shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before the LORD.
