Leviticus 7:18-33

¹⁸If any meat from the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh is eaten on the third day, Yahweh will not accept that offering; it will be useless to offer it, because Yahweh will consider that it is worthless. Anyone who eats some of it will have to pay a penalty to Yahweh.

¹⁹Meat that touches something that God considers to be impure must not be eaten; it must be completely burned. Anyone who has performed the rituals to become acceptable to God is allowed to eat other meat which has been offered as a sacrifice.

²⁰But if anyone who has not performed those rituals eats some of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people.

²¹If anyone touches something that God considers to be impure and very displeasing to him, whether it is from a human or from an animal, and then he eats any of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people.”

²²Yahweh also said to Moses/me:

²³“Say this to the Israeli people: Do not eat any of the fat of cattle or sheep or goats.

²⁴The fat of an animal that is found dead or that has been killed by a wild animal may be used for other purposes, but you must not eat it.

²⁵Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering has been made to Yahweh must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people.

²⁶And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.

²⁷If anyone eats blood, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God's people.”

²⁸Yahweh also said to Moses/me,

²⁹“Tell the Israeli people this: Anyone who brings an offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh must bring part of it to be a sacrifice to Yahweh.

³⁰He himself must bring the offering that will be burned in the fire. He must bring the fat along with the breast of the animal and lift it up in front of Yahweh to indicate that it is an offering to him.

³¹The Supreme Priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and all his sons.

³²You must give to the Supreme Priest the right thigh of the animal that is sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.

³³The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of that sacrifice must be given the right thigh of the animal as his share.
