Verse 22

"And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat. And the fat of that which dieth of itself, and that of that which is torn of beasts, may be used for any other service; but ye shall in no wise eat of it. For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering of fire unto Jehovah, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people. And ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of bird or of beast, in any of your dwellings. Whosoever it be that eateth any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people."

Here we have a repetition of the prohibitions against eating either the fat or blood (See Leviticus 3:17), with the proviso that the fat could be used for other purposes (oiling a harness, for example, or making soap). Also, there is the double reference to being cut off from one's people. (See the preceding paragraph.)
