Leviticus 7:22-32

22 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto the sons 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 died of itself and the fat of that which is torn by beasts may be used in any other use, but ye shall not eat of it.
25 For whosoever eats fat of an animal, of which an offering is made on fire unto the LORD, the person that eats it shall be cut off from his people.
26 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it is of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
27 Whatever person it is that eats any manner of blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.
28 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
29 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, He that offers his sacrifice of peace unto the LORD shall bring his offering of the sacrifice of his peace unto the LORD;
30 his own hands shall bring the offerings which must be burned unto the LORD; he shall bring the fat with the breast that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.
31 And the priest shall incense the fat upon the altar; but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
32 And ye shall give unto the priest to be elevated in offering the right shoulder of the sacrifices of your peace.
