Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'You shall not eat any fat from an ox, a sheep, or a goat.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

'Also the fat of an animal which dies and the fat of an animal torn by animals may be put to any other use, but you certainly are not to eat it.

And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.

'For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which an offering by fire is offered to the LORD, the person who eats it shall also be cut off from his people.

For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord , even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.

'And you are not to eat any blood, either of bird or animal, in any of your dwellings.

Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.

'Any person who eats any blood, that person shall also be cut off from his people.'"

Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
