New Testament

Leviticus 7:20-26 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. If a soul which is polluted will have eaten from the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which is offered to the Lord, he shall perish from his people.

21. And whoever will have touched the uncleanness of man, or of beast, or of anything which is able to defile, and who will have eaten from this kind of flesh, shall be cut off from his people.

22. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

23. Say to the sons 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 has died on its own, or of an animal that has been seized by a wild beast, you shall have for various uses.

25. If anyone will have eaten the fat which ought to be offered as a burnt sacrifice of the Lord, he shall perish from his people.

26. Likewise, you shall not take as food the blood of any animals at all, whether of birds or beasts.
