Leviticus 17:5-7
Names of God Bible
5 This means that the people of Israel must take the sacrifices they have been making in the open fields and bring them to Yahweh. They must bring them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting. The people will sacrifice them as fellowship offerings to Yahweh. 6 The priest will pour the blood against Yahweh’s altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting. He will burn the fat as a soothing aroma to Yahweh. 7 The people must stop sacrificing to goat idols and chasing after them as though they were prostitutes. This is a permanent law for the people and for future generations.
