Leviticus / Question
Question source
Leviticus
Leviticus identifies certain fat portions as belonging to the LORD in the peace offering, with those parts burned on the altar. It then states a rule: “You shall eat neither fat nor blood.” The prohibition is stated as a lasting statute for the community (Leviticus 3:16–17; Leviticus 7:22–25).
22Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat.
24The fat of that which dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of animals, may be used for any other service; but you shall in no way eat of it.
25For whoever eats the fat of the animal, of which men offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, even the soul who eats it shall be cut off from his people.
