This is so that the Israelites[a] may bring their sacrifices that they are sacrificing in the open field[b] and bring[c] them for Yahweh to the tent of assembly’s entrance to the priest, and they shall sacrifice fellowship offerings for Yahweh with them. And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on Yahweh’s altar at the tent of assembly’s entrance, and he shall burn[d] the fat as an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. And they may no longer sacrifice[e] their sacrifices to the goat-idols after which they were prostituting. This is a lasting statute[f] for them throughout[g] their generations.”’
