17 Then Yahweh told Mosheh:

2 Tell Aharon and his sons and all the Israelis that these are the instructions from Yahweh: 3 No Israeli is allowed to slaughter a bull or lamb or goat either inside the camp or outside it. 4 If they’re not taken to the entrance to the sacred tent to be presented as an offering to Yahweh in front of his residence, then that person will be held guilty of its blood—they’ve shed blood so they must be cut off from his people. 5 The Israelis must stop sacrificing their animals in the countryside, and instead bring them to Yahweh at the entrance to the sacred tent, i.e., they must bring them to the priest and sacrifice them as peace offerings to Yahweh. 6 Then the priest will splash the blood onto Yahweh’s altar at the tent entrance, and burn up the fat to become a soothing aroma for Yahweh. 7 Then they won’t be able to continue offering their sacrifices to the goat demons that they’re prostituting themselves to. The above will be a permanent regulation throughout the generations.

8 You must tell them that if an Israeli or a foreigner living among them, makes a burnt offering or sacrifice 9 without bringing it to Yahweh at the sacred tent entrance, then that person must be cut off from the community.
