Leviticus 7:22-27

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Ye shall eat no manner of fat. The prohibition, though at first sight absolute, is by the context restricted to the fatty portions of the sacrificial beasts, specified in a previous chapter (Leviticus 3:3; Leviticus 3:9: cf. Genesis 4:4); and in regard to such cattle as had died from disease, or had been mangled by beasts of prey, the fat, though unfit, through defilement, to be eaten (Leviticus 17:15; Leviticus 22:8), might be used in various other ways.

Verse 26. Ye shall eat no manner of blood ... of fowl or of beast. This prohibition rests on the same ground as that regarding fat (Leviticus 17:10: cf. Genesis 9:4).
