Levitico 17:5

5 affinché i figliuoli d’Israele, invece d’immolare, come fanno, i loro sacrifizi nei campi, li rechino all’Eterno presentandoli al sacerdote, all’ingresso della tenda di convegno, e li offrano all’Eterno come sacrifizi di azioni di grazie.

Levitico 17:5 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 17:5

To the end that the children of Israel may bring their
sacrifices which they offer in the open field
Which, before the tabernacle was erected, they were used to offer there, as it was lawful for them to do, and on high places, but now unlawful; though sometimes this was dispensed with by the Lord, and was done by some of his prophets, as Samuel, David, and Elijah, though not by priests:

even that they may bring them unto the Lord, unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest;
by whom they were to be offered, and by him only, and which is a principal reason why they were ordered to be brought thither:

and offer them [for] peace offerings unto the Lord;
which though only mentioned, include all others. These are only taken notice of because most frequent, and because most profitable to the people, having a part of them; wherefore if these were to be brought to the tabernacle, which came the nearest of any to their meals and feasts in their own houses, then much more burnt offerings, and sin offerings, in which the Lord, had so great a concern.

Levitico 17:5 In-Context

3 Se un uomo qualunque della casa d’Israele scanna un bue o un agnello o una capra entro il campo, o fuori del campo,
4 e non lo mena all’ingresso della tenda di convegno per presentarlo come offerta all’Eterno davanti al tabernacolo dell’Eterno, sarà considerato come colpevole di delitto di sangue; ha sparso del sangue, e cotest’uomo sarà sterminato di fra il suo popolo,
5 affinché i figliuoli d’Israele, invece d’immolare, come fanno, i loro sacrifizi nei campi, li rechino all’Eterno presentandoli al sacerdote, all’ingresso della tenda di convegno, e li offrano all’Eterno come sacrifizi di azioni di grazie.
6 Il sacerdote ne spanderà il sangue sull’altare dell’Eterno, all’ingresso della tenda di convegno, e farà fumare il grasso come un profumo soave all’Eterno.
7 Ed essi non offriranno più i loro sacrifizi ai demoni, ai quali sogliono prostituirsi. Questa sarà per loro una legge perpetua, di generazione in generazione.
