5

This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to the LORD, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to the LORD.

EXPLANATION

Verse 5. They. The Egyptians and other nations, kill in the field, as the Hebrews had also done, till it was now prohibited. Some were, perhaps, still much inclined to adore, ( Calmet.) and to offer sacrifices privately to devils; (verse 7,) and therefore God forbids any sacrifice, but such as was performed by his priests at the tabernacle.
