Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... After he had given him the law about the day of atonement, and the rites belonging to it:
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

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.
