1. The Lord told Moses
2. to tell Aaron, his sons, and everyone else in Israel:
3-4. Whenever you kill any of your cattle, sheep, or goats as sacrifices to me, you must do it at the entrance to the sacred tent. If you don't, you will be guilty of pouring out blood, and you will no longer belong to the community of Israel.
5. And so, when you sacrifice an animal to ask my blessing, it must not be done out in a field,
6. but in front of the sacred tent. Then a priest can splatter its blood against the bronze altar and send its fat up in smoke with a smell that pleases me.
7. Don't ever turn from me again and offer sacrifices to goat-demons. This law will never change.
