Leviticus 17:1-7

Revised Geneva Translation

17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

² “Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘This is the thing which the LORD has commanded, saying,

³ “Whoever of the House of Israel kills a bullock, or lamb, or goat inside the camp, or kills it outside of the camp,

⁴ “and does not bring it 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 has shed blood. Therefore, that man shall be cut off from among his people.

⁵ “Therefore, the children of Israel shall bring their offerings which they would have offered abroad in the field (via the Priest) and present them to the LORD at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and offer them for Peace Offerings to the LORD.

⁶ “Then the Priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the Altar of the LORD, before the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savor to the LORD.

⁷ “And no more shall they offer their offerings to demons, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be an Ordinance to them forever, in their generations.”’”
