³“Any man from the house of Israel who kills an ox or lamb or goat in the camp, or kills it outside the camp ⁴and has not brought it to the doorway of the Tent of Meeting to ^[a]offer it as an offering to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord, that man shall be guilty of bloodshed. He has shed blood and shall be cut off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them].
