The people

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

I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your dead bodies on the lifeless bodies of your idols; I will reject you.

Destroy completely all the places where the nations that you are driving out worship their gods—on the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree.

However, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.

but God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for My name because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’
