Leviticus 17:8-9

Blood, Life, Sacrifice, and the LORD's Exclusive Altar

The LORD commands that slaughtered sacrificial animals be brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting, forbids sacrifice in the open fields or to goat demons, applies the command to Israelites and foreigners, prohibits eating blood because life is in the blood and blood is given for atonement, requires hunters to drain and cover blood, and gives washing instructions for eating animals found dead or torn.

8 Tell them that if anyone from the house of Israel or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice

9 but does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man must be cut off from his people.
