Leviticus 7:23,24 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The general prohibition of eating fat, (Leviticus 3:17,) is here explained of those kinds of creatures which were sacrificed. The fat of others they might eat. And (Lev 7:24) he shows that this prohibition reached not only to the fat of those beasts which were offered to God, but also of those that died, or were killed at home.

Leviticus 7:23-24

23 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

24 And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts,b may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
