“What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,”
Any Israelite who sacrifices an ox, a lamb or a goat in the camp or outside it. The regulation addresses the slaughter of the three major domesticated animals — ox, lamb, goat — whether in the camp or outside it. The location-spanning prohibition communicates that the regulation applies everywhere the community lives, not only in proximity to the tabernacle. The animals that are used for food and for sacrifice cannot be killed in just any location for any purpose.
