Say to them: If any man from any of your descendants throughout your generations is in a state of uncleanness yet approaches the holy offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the Lord, that person will be cut off from My presence; I am the Lord.

He must not eat an animal that died naturally or was mauled by wild beasts, making himself unclean by it; I am the Lord.
