Leviticus 7:20-30

20 Yf any soule eate of the flesh of the peaceofferynges, that pertayne vnto the Lorde and hys vnclennesse yet apon him, the same soule shall perisshe from amonge his peoole.
21 Moreouer yf a soule twych any vnclene thinge, whether it be the vnclennesse of man or of any vnclene beest or any abhominacion that is vnclene: ad the eate of the flesh of the peaceoffrynges whiche pertayne vnto the Lord, that soule shall perissh from his people.
22 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge:
23 speake vnto the childern of Israel ad saye. Ye shall eate no maner fatt of oxen, shepe or gootes:
24 neuerthelater the fatt of the beest that dyeth alone ad the fatt of that which is torne with wilde beestes, maye be occupide in all maner vses: but ye shal in no wise eate of it.
25 For whosoeuer eateth the fatt of the beest of which me bring an offring vnto the Lorde, that soule that eateth it shall perissh fro his people.
26 Moreouer ye shall eate no maner of bloud, wheresoeuer ye dwell, whether it be of foule or of beest.
27 What soeuer soule it be that eateth any maner of bloude the same soule shal perisshe fro his people.
28 And the Lorde talked with Moses sayenge:
29 speake vnto the childre of Israel ad saye He that offereth his peaceofferynge vnto the Lord, shall bringe his gifte vnto the Lord of his peaceoffrynges:
30 his owne handes shal bringe the offrynge of the Lorde: eue the fatt apo the brest he shall bringe with the brest to waue it a waueoffrynge before the Lorde.
