Discovery BoxLeviticus 7:24 
Context7:24 Moreover, the fat of an animal that has died of natural causes 1 and the fat of an animal torn by beasts may be used for any other purpose, 2 but you must certainly never eat it.
Leviticus 21:18
Context21:18 Certainly 3 no man who has a physical flaw is to approach: a blind man, or one who is lame, or one with a slit nose, 4 or a limb too long,
1 tn Heb “carcass,” referring to the carcass of an animal that has died on its own, not the carcass of an animal slaughtered for sacrifice or killed by wild beasts. This has been clarified in the translation by supplying the phrase “of natural causes”; cf. NAB, TEV “that has died a natural death.”
2 tn Heb “shall be used for any work”; cf. NIV, NLT “may be used for any other purpose.”
3 tn The particle כִּי (ki) in this context is asseverative, indicating absolutely certainty (GKC 498 §159.ee).
4 tn Lexically, the Hebrew term חָרֻם (kharum) seems to refer to a split nose or perhaps any number of other facial defects (HALOT 354 s.v. II חרם qal; cf. G. J. Wenham, Leviticus [NICOT], 292, n. 7); cf. KJV, ASV “a flat nose”; NASB “a disfigured face.” The NJPS translation is “a limb too short” as a balance to the following term which means “extended, raised,” and apparently refers to “a limb too long” (see the explanation in B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 146).
