Leviticus 7:14-24

14 And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation [for] a heave-offering to the LORD, [and] it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace-offerings.
15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
16 But if the sacrifice of his offering [shall be] a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
17 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
18 And if [any] of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings shall be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him that offereth it; it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
19 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean [thing] shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that shall be clean shall eat of it.
20 But the soul that eateth [of] the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings that [pertain] to the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
21 Moreover, the soul that shall touch any unclean [thing], [as] the uncleanness of man, or [any] unclean beast, or any abominable unclean [thing], and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings which [pertain] to the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
23 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
24 And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used for any other purpose; but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
