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 The Lord commanded Moses 2 to give Aaron and his sons and all the people of Israel the following regulations. 3Any Israelites who kill a cow or a sheep or a goat as an offering to the Lord anywhere except at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord 's presence have broken the Law. They have shed blood and shall no longer be considered God's people. 5 The meaning of this command is that the people of Israel shall now bring to the Lord the animals which they used to kill in the open country. They shall now bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Tent and kill them as fellowship offerings. 6 The priest shall throw the blood against the sides of the altar at the entrance of the Tent and burn the fat to produce an odor that is pleasing to the Lord . 7 The people of Israel must no longer be unfaithful to the Lord by killing their animals in the fields as sacrifices to the goat demons. The people of Israel must keep this regulation for all time to come. 8 Any Israelites or any foreigners living in the community who offer a burnt offering or any other sacrifice 9 as an offering to the Lord anywhere except at the entrance of the Tent shall no longer be considered God's 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.
