Ezekiel 44:7

Leviticus 3:16-17

3:16 Then the priest must offer them up in smoke on the altar as a food gift for a soothing aroma – all the fat belongs to the Lord. 3:17 This is ³  a perpetual statute throughout your generations ⁴  in all the places where you live: You must never eat any fat or any blood.’” ⁵
