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.
8. Remember! No one in Israel, including foreigners, is to offer a sacrifice anywhere
9. except at the entrance to the sacred tent. If you do, you will no longer belong to my people.
10. I will turn against any of my people who eat blood. This also includes any foreigners living among you.
11. Life is in the blood, and I have given you the blood of animals to sacrifice in place of your own.
12. That's also why I have forbidden you to eat blood.
