Leviticus 7:18-28

18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto 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 burned with fire; and as for the flesh, all who are clean shall eat thereof.
20 But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings that pertain unto 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 unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.'"
22 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
23 "Speak unto 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 by beasts may be used in any other use, but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
25 For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
26 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood in any of your dwellings, whether it be of fowl or of beast.
27 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.'"
28 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
