17 The Lord said🗣️ to2️⃣ Moses👴🏽, 2 “Speak🗣️ to2️⃣ 🅰️Aaron 🅰️and his sons👬 and to2️⃣ 🅰️all the Israelites 🅰️and say🗣️ to2️⃣ them👥: ‘This is what the Lord has commanded🗣️: 3 🅰️Any Israelite who sacrifices 🅰️an ox🐂🐃, 🅰️a 🐏lamb🐑 🅾️or 🅰️a goat🐐 in the camp🎪 or outside of it 4 instead of bringing it to2️⃣ the ↩️entrance to2️⃣ the tent⛺ of 🤝meeting🤝 to2️⃣ 🎁present🎁 it 🅰️as 🅰️an 🅾️offering to2️⃣ the Lord in front 🅾️of the tabernacle 🅾️of the Lord ➖ that person👤 shall be🐝 considered guilty of bloodshed🏚️; they👥 have shed🏚️ blood 🅰️and must be🐝 cut✂️ off from their people👥. 5 This is so the Israelites will bring to2️⃣ the Lord the sacrifices they👥 🅰️are now ⛏️⚒️making🛠️🔨 in the open fields🏞️.
