Leviticus 17:4

and offereth not an offering to the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of witnessing (or and then bringeth it not as an offering to the Lord to the entrance of the Tabernacle of the Witnessing); (it is) as if he shedded (out) man’s blood, (and) so he shall perish from the midst of his people.
