Leviticus 17:6-9

Living Bible

⁶ for in this way the priest will be able to sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the Lord at the entrance of the Tabernacle, and to burn the fat as a savor the Lord will appreciate and enjoy— ⁷ instead of the people’s sacrificing to evil spirits^[a] out in the fields. This shall be a permanent law for you, from generation to generation. ^8-9 I repeat: Anyone, whether an Israelite or a foreigner living among you who offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice anywhere other than at the entrance of the Tabernacle, where it will be sacrificed to the Lord, shall be excommunicated.
