Leviticus 17:5-11

⁵This is why the Israelites have to bring to the Lord the sacrifices they currently offer out in the fields. They must bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as peace offerings to the Lord.

⁶The priest will sprinkle the blood on the altar of the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat to be accepted by the Lord.

⁷They must not continue to offer their sacrifices to the goat devils with whom they have acted like prostitutes. This is a regulation for all time and for all future generations.

⁸Warn them that any Israelite or any foreigner living among them who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice

⁹without bringing it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the Lord must be expelled from their people.

¹⁰I will disown any Israelite or any foreigner living among them who eats any blood and I will expel them from their people.

¹¹Life is in the body's blood. I have given it to you so that by putting it on the altar your lives can be made right, for it is the lifeblood that makes people's lives right.
