Leviticus 6 - These Priests were not Vegan!

Lev 7:6  Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.

Lev 7:7  As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.

Lev 7:8  And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.

Lev 7:9  And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it.

Lev 7:10  And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.

Lev 7:11  And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD.

But there were some useful food restrictions......

Lev 7:22  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Lev 7:23  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

Lev 7:24  And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.

Lev 7:25  For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.

Lev 7:26  Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.

Lev 7:27  Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

One can see how Jesus speaking of his blood would be shocking.

Joh 6:53  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

Joh 6:55  For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

1Co 11:25  After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

1Co 11:27  Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

Rev 16:6  For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

This is certainly figuratively meant, not literal, and reflects our identification and faith in the atoning work of Christ, and his blood shed for us.

Mat 26:28  For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
