Leviticus 17:3-9

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

⁴instead of bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to present it as an offering to the LORD before His tabernacle — that man shall incur bloodguilt. He has shed blood and must be cut off from among his people.

⁵For this reason the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they have been offering in the open fields. They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as sacrifices of peace to the LORD.

⁶The priest will then sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

⁷They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat demons to which they have prostituted themselves. This will be a permanent statute for them for the generations to come.’

⁸Tell them that if anyone from the house of Israel or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice

⁹but does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man must be cut off from his people.
