Leviticus 7:24-32 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

24. Although the fat of an animal that has died a natural death or has been killed by wild beasts may be put to any other use, you may not eat it.

25. If anyone eats the fat of an animal from which an oblation is made to the Lord, that person shall be cut off from the people.

26. Wherever you dwell, you shall not eat any blood, whether of bird or of animal.

27. Every person who eats any blood shall be cut off from the people.

28. The Lord said to Moses:

29. Tell the Israelites: The person who offers a communion sacrifice to the Lord shall be the one to bring from it the offering to the Lord.

30. The offerer’s own hands shall carry the oblations for the Lord: the person shall bring the fat together with the brisket, which is to be raised as an elevated offering before the Lord.

31. The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the brisket belongs to Aaron and his sons.

32. Moreover, from your communion sacrifices you shall give to the priest the right leg as a contribution.
