The Sacredness of Blood

17 The Lord commanded Moses ² to give Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel the following regulations. ^3-4 Any Israelites who kill a cow or a sheep or a goat as an offering to the Lord anywhere except at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence have broken the Law. They have shed blood and shall no longer be considered God's people.
