Leviticus 17:3-9 ▼

3 Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox, sheep, or goat in the camp, or slaughters it outside the camp,

4 instead of bringing it to the entrance to the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before His tabernacle  — that person will be considered guilty. He has shed blood and must be cut off from his people.

5 This is so the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they have been offering in the open country . They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting and offer them as fellowship sacrifices to the LORD.

6 The priest will then sprinkle the blood on the LORD’s altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

7 They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat-demons that they have prostituted themselves with. This will be a permanent statute for them throughout their generations.

8 “ Say to them: Anyone from the house of Israel or from the foreigners who live among them who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice

9 but does not bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD , that person must be cut off from his people.
