And the 130th prohibition is that we are forbidden from eating sacrificial meat which has become impure.
The source of this commandment is G‑d's statement1 (exalted be He), "Meat which touches anything impure may not be eaten."
One who transgresses this prohibition by eating is punished by lashes. The Tosefta in Zevachim2 explains that when a person is pure and he eats impure meat, he receives 40 lashes. Our Sages say in the second chapter of tractate Pesachim,3 "If the person is impure, the punishment is kares, and if the meat is impure, it is [just] a prohibition."4
The details of this mitzvah have been explained in the 13th chapter of tractate Zevachim.
