Whatsoever soul - that eateth any manner of blood - See Clarke’s note on Gen 9:4. Shall be cut off - excommunicated from the people of God, and so deprived of any part in their inheritance, and in their blessings. See Clarke’s note on Gen 17:14.

This site's exposition

Ye shall eat no manner of fat

on Leviticus 7:23-27

Fat and blood are forbidden together and both carry the same penalty of being cut off from the people. The fat of a beast that died of itself or was torn may be put to any other use, and only the eating of it is barred, so the rule guards what belongs on the altar rather than the carcase. Leviticus 17:11 gives the one reason the book ever gives for the blood, that the life of the flesh is in it, and Acts 15:20 and 15:29 carry the same prohibition into the first council of the church.

proposed

), because the fat was offered to God only by way of acknowledgment, but the blood made atonement for the soul, and so typified Christ's sacrifice much more than the burning of the fat did; to this therefore a greater reverence must be paid, till these types had their accomplishment in the offering up of the body of Christ once for all.
