THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "Speak to Aaron and his sons and all the Israelites. Tell them, This is what God commands: Any and every man who slaughters an ox or lamb or goat inside or outside the camp instead of bringing it to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting to offer it to God in front of The Dwelling of God —that man is considered guilty of bloodshed; he has shed blood and must be cut off from his people. This is so the Israelites will bring to God the sacrifices that they're in the habit of sacrificing out in the open fields. They must bring them to God and the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and sacrifice them as Peace-Offerings to God . The priest will splash the blood on the Altar of God at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing fragrance to God . They must no longer offer their sacrifices to goat-demons—a kind of religious orgy. This is a perpetual decree down through the generations.

Contextual Overview

¹ And the Lord said to Moses, ² Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given. ³ If any man of Israel puts to death an ox or a lamb or a goat, in or outside the tent-circle; ⁴ And has not taken it to the door of the Tent of meeting, to make an offering to the Lord, before the Lord's House, its blood will be on him, for he has taken life, and he will be cut off from among his people: ⁵ So that the children of Israel may take to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting and to the priest, the offerings which they have put to death in the open country, and that they may make their peace-offerings to the Lord. ⁶ And the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell to the Lord. ⁷ And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations. ⁸ And say to them, If any man of Israel, or any other living among them, makes a burned offering or other offering, ⁹ And does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to the Lord, that man will be cut off from among his people.

saying; as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This chapter, in its immediate bearing on the daily life of the Israelites, stands as the first of four Lev. 17–20 which set forth practical duties, directing the Israelites to walk, not in the way of the pagan, but according to the ordinances of Yahweh.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XVII

The people are commanded to bring all the cattle they intend to

kill to the door of the tabernacle, where they are to be made

an offering to the Lord; and those who disobey are to be cut

off, 1-5.

The priest is to sprinkle the blood, 6.

They are forbidden to offer sacrifices to devils, 7.

The injunction to bring their offerings to the door of the

tabernacle is repeated, 8, 9.

The eating of blood is solemnly forbidden, 10.

It is the life of the beast, and is given to make an atonement

for their souls, 11, 12.

If a bird or beast be taken in hunting, its blood must be

poured out and covered with dust, for the reasons before

assigned, 13, 14.

None shall eat an animal that dies of itself, or is torn by

beasts; if any act otherwise he must bathe his clothes and his

flesh, or bear his iniquity, 15, 16.
