22And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: You shall not eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.

24But the fat of an animal that dies naturally, and the fat of one torn by beasts, may be used for any work; but you must certainly not eat it.

25For anyone who eats fat from an animal from which an offering made by fire is presented to Yahweh, the person who eats it shall be cut off from his people.
