SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:25

Porque cualquiera que comiere sebo de animal, del cual se ofrece al SEÑOR ofrenda encendida, la persona que lo comiere, será cortada de su pueblo.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 25. For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord , etc.] As oxen, sheep, rams, goats; meaning not only the fat of those that are offered, but the fat of all those of the like kind: even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people ; (see Gill on “ Leviticus 7:20”) Maimonides observes, that the punishment of cutting off is enjoined for the eating of fat, because men used to count it delicious, for which reason also God would honour his sacrifices with it: and he further observes f181 , that the fat of the intestines too much saturates, hinders concoction, generates gross and frigid blood, hence it is much better it should be burnt than eaten; and that blood and what dies of itself are of difficult digestion, and of bad nourishment, wherefore the latter is forbidden in the ( Leviticus 7:24), and the former in ( Leviticus 7:26): of the punishment for eating fat, the same writer observes, he that eats fat the quantity of an olive, presumptuously, is guilty of cutting off; if ignorantly, he must bring the fixed sin offering: and elsewhere he says, he that eats fat is beaten for it; and he eats it a second time, and is beaten for it; but if he eats it a third time they do not beat him, but put him into a prison, which is a strait place according to his height, where he cannot stand upright, nor can he lie down in it; and they give him bread and water of affliction till his bowels are distressed, and he become sick, and then they feed him with barley till his belly bursts.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 11-27 - As to the peace-offerings, in the expression of their sense of mercy God left them more at liberty, than in the expression of their sense of sin; that their sacrifices, being free-will offerings, might be the more acceptable, while, by obliging them to bring the sacrifices of atonement, God shows the necessity of the great Propitiation. The mai reason why blood was forbidden of old, was because the Lord ha appointed blood for an atonement. This use, being figurative, had it end in Christ, who by his death and blood-shedding caused the sacrifices to cease. Therefore this law is not now in force of believers.
