Tithes

He has shed blood, and that man (C)shall be cut off from among his people. This is to the end that the people of Israel may bring their sacrifices that they sacrifice (D)in the open field, that they may bring them to the Lord, to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and sacrifice them (E)as sacrifices of peace offerings to the Lord.

Any Israelite who sacrifices an ox,[a] a lamb(A) or a goat(B) in the camp or outside of it instead of bringing it to the entrance to the tent of meeting(C) to present it as an offering to the Lord in front of the tabernacle of the Lord(D)—that person shall be considered guilty of bloodshed; they have shed blood and must be cut off from their people.(E) This is so the Israelites will bring to the Lord the sacrifices they are now making in the open fields. They must bring them to the priest, that is, to the Lord, at the entrance to the tent of meeting and sacrifice them as fellowship offerings.(F) The priest is to splash the blood against the altar(G) of the Lord(H) at the entrance to the tent of meeting and burn the fat as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(I) They must no longer offer any of their sacrifices to the goat idols[b](J) to whom they prostitute themselves.(K) This is to be a lasting ordinance(L) for them and for the generations to come.’(M)
