Any man[a] from the house of Israel who slaughters an ox or a sheep or a goat in the camp or who slaughters it outside the camp[b] and he does not bring it to the tent of assembly’s entrance to present an offering to Yahweh before[c] Yahweh’s tabernacle, then[d] that man shall be accounted bloodguilty—he has poured out blood, and that man shall be cut off from the midst of his people. This is so that the Israelites[e] may bring their sacrifices that they are sacrificing in the open field[f] and bring[g] them for Yahweh to the tent of assembly’s entrance to the priest, and they shall sacrifice fellowship offerings for Yahweh with them.
