Leviticus 17:1 In-Context

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,

3 Whatever man [there may be] of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or that killeth [it] out of the camp,

4 And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering to the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed to that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest, and offer them [for] peace-offerings to the LORD.
