Context of Leviticus 17:9

7The people give sacrifices in the fields to worship idols that seem like goats. They must never do this again. This rule is for now and for all time. 8If an Israelite gives a sacrifice or a burnt offering he must offer it at the Tent of Meeting's door. A foreigner may live among you. If he gives a sacrifice he must offer it at the Tent of Meeting's door. If they did not offer it to the Lord at the Tent of Meeting's door, they are sinning. You must send them away from the camp. 10An Israelite or a foreigner who lives among you must not eat blood. And they must not drink it. If somebody does, God will turn away from him. He will take that person away from his people. 11The blood of an animal gives it life. You must put the blood on the altar. God has given the blood to you to atone for your sins. It makes your life right again, because of the blood.

Commentaries on Leviticus 17:9

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3-9These rules show that unsupervised sacrifices could lead a mixture of pagan practices with true worship of the Lord (see also Deuteronomy 12:15–21; Leviticus 17:7). Israel camped around the Tent of Meeting so it was easy to bring an animal to the sanctuary for slaughter (see also Deuteronomy 12:15–21).

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 8-98-9. Whatsoever man ... offereth ... And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle--Before the promulgation of the law, men worshipped wherever they pleased or pitched their tents.
