Contextual Overview
1 (LY: iv) Adonai said to Moshe, 2 "Speak to Aharon and his sons and to all the people of Isra'el. Tell them that this is what Adonai has ordered: 3 ‘When someone from the community of Isra'el slaughters an ox, lamb or goat inside or outside the camp 4 without bringing it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to Adonai before the tabernacle of Adonai , he is to be charged with blood — he has shed blood, and that person is to be cut off from his people. 5 The reason for this is so that the people of Isra'el will bring their sacrifices that they sacrifice out in the field — so that they will bring them to Adonai , to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to the cohen, and sacrifice them as peace offerings to Adonai . 6 The cohen will splash the blood against the altar of Adonai at the entrance to the tent of meeting and make the fat go up in smoke as a pleasing aroma for Adonai . 7 No longer will they offer sacrifices to the goat-demons, before whom they prostitute themselves! This is a permanent regulation for them through all their generations.' 8 (RY: iii, LY: v) "Also tell them, ‘When someone from the community of Isra'el or one of the foreigners living with you offers a burnt offering or sacrifice 9 without bringing it to the entrance of the tent of meeting to sacrifice it to Adonai , that person is to be cut off from his people.
