Leviticus 17:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ Whichever man of the house of Israel slays an ox or a lamb or a goat, either slaying it inside the camp or outside of it, ⁴ and does not bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting, nor offers it to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord, that man shall be guilty of its blood, the blood that he shed, and that man shall be cut off from among his people. ⁵ This is to stop the children of Israel from offering their sacrifices in the open fields, and so that they bring them unto the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting, to the priest, to offer peace offerings unto the Lord.
