^{23 Ref} Say to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or goat, for food.

^{24 Ref} 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.

²⁵ For anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people.
