eat neither:
That is, neither the blood which is contained in the larger veins and arteries, nor the fat or suet which is within the animal, which exists in a separate or unmixed state, as the omentum or caul, the fat of the mesentery, or fatty part of the substance which connects the convolutions of the alimentary canal or small intestines, the fat of the kidneys, and whatever else of the internal fat was easily separable, together with the whole of the tail already described; for the blood which assumes the form of gravy, and the fat which is intermixed with the other flesh, might be eaten. This law not only related to the sacrifices, but to all the cattle which the Israelites slaughtered for food. "And the priestª shall burnª ° them upon the altar:ª [it is] the foodª of the offering made by fireª for a sweetª savour:ª all¹ the fatª [is] the LORD'S.ª" {Lev 3:16} + "Butterª of kine,ª and milkª of sheep,ª with¹ fatª of lambs,ª and ramsª of the breedª of Bashan,ª and goats,ª with¹ the fatª of kidneysª of wheat;ª and thou didst drinkª ° the pureª bloodª of the grape.ª" {Deu 32:14} + "Then he saidª ° unto them, Go¹ your way,² ° eatª ° the fat,ª and drinkª ° the sweet,ª and sendª ° portionsª unto them for whom nothing¹ is prepared:ª ° for¹ [this] dayª [is] holyª unto our Lord:ª neither¹ be ye sorry;ª ° for¹ the joyª of the LORDª is your strength.ª" {Neh 8:10}
