Leviticus 17:1-9

1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel, and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord has commanded, saying, 3“Anyone from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox, a lamb, or a goat in the camp, or slaughters it outside the camp, 4and 1has not brought it to the doorway of the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to the Lord in front of the 2tabernacle of the Lord, bloodshed is to be counted against that person. He has shed blood, and that person shall be cut off from among his people. 5This shall be done so that the sons of Israel will bring their sacrifices which they were sacrificing 3in the open field--so that they will bring them to the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting to the priest, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace offerings to the Lord. 6The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting, and 4offer up the fat in smoke as a soothing aroma to the Lord. 7And 5they shall no longer offer their sacrifices to the 6goat demons with which they play the prostitute. This shall be a permanent statute to them throughout their generations.”’

8“Then you shall say to them, ‘Anyone from the house of Israel, or from the strangers who reside among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice, 9and 7does not bring it to the doorway of the tent of meeting to 8offer it to the Lord, that person also shall be cut off from his people.
