21
And he that hath touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of any thing that can defile, and shall eat of such kind of flesh: shall be cut off from his people.
22
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23
Say to the children of Israel: The fat of a sheep, and of an ox, and of a goat you shall not eat.
24
The fat of a carcass that hath died of itself, and of a beast that was caught by another beast, you shall have for divers uses.
25
If any man eat the fat that should be offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish out of his people.
26
Moreover you shall not eat the blood of any creature whatsoever, whether of birds or beasts.
27
Every one that eateth blood, shall perish from among the people.
28
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
29
Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him offer therewith a sacrifice also, that is, the libations thereof.
30
He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast. And when he hath offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,
31
Who shall burn the fat upon the altar. But the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
