Leviticus 17:3-5
Lexham English Bible
3 “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] 4 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. 5 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.

Leviticus 17:3-5
New International Version
3 Any Israelite who sacrifices an ox,[a] a lamb(A) or a goat(B) in the camp or outside of it 4 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) 5 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)
