Leviticus 17:1-7 - The Place Of Sacrifice

¹ And the Lord said to Moses, ² Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given. ³ If any man of Israel puts to death an ox or a lamb or a goat, in or outside the tent-circle; ⁴ And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will be cut off from among his people: ⁵ So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord. ⁶ And the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell to the Lord. ⁷ And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.
