¹⁵ And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.

²⁴ And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food.

²¹ You may not have as food anything which has come to a natural death; the man from another country who is living with you may take it for food, or you may get a price for it from one of another nation; for you are a holy people to the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.

³¹ The priests may not take for food any bird or beast which has come to a natural death or whose death has been caused by another animal.

³⁹ And if any beast which may be used for food comes to a natural death, anyone touching its dead body will be unclean till evening.
